Can I become a U.S. citizen if I don’t speak English?

To become a U.S. Citizen you typically have to have a basic command of the English language. Only under the following circumstances can you become a U.S. citizen without speaking English:

You are over 50 years old and have had your green card for over 20 years;
You are over 55 years old and have had your green card for over 15 years; OR
You have a disability that prevents you from learning English and have a Doctor who will support your claim

You still need to pass your civics and U.S. History exam, but you can do it in your language. You will need to bring a translator with you to your interview because USCIS won’t provide you with one.
