N‑648 Disability Waiver: Psychological Evaluation for U.S. Citizenship (Naturalization)
A N-648 psychological evaluation is a clinical service required when a naturalization applicant cannot meet the English or civics exam requirements due to a qualifying medical or psychological condition. This evaluation supports a USCIS disability waiver and must be completed accurately, clearly, and in compliance with immigration standards.
This service focuses on documenting functional limitations, not personal circumstances or educational background. USCIS evaluates how a condition interferes with learning, memory, comprehension, or verbal expression under testing conditions.

What This Evaluation Is Designed to Do
What This Evaluation Is Designed to Do
The purpose of a N-648 psychological evaluation is to provide USCIS with a clear clinical explanation of why an applicant is unable to complete the citizenship exam.
Importantly, the evaluation:
- Identifies qualifying psychological or cognitive conditions
- Explains how symptoms affect exam performance
- Connects diagnosis to real functional limitations
- Uses professional, non-speculative clinical language
This documentation becomes part of the naturalization record and is reviewed carefully by USCIS officers.
Who May Qualify for a Disability Waiver
Who May Qualify for a Disability Waiver
An applicant may qualify if they have a medically determinable condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, at least 12 months and significantly interferes with exam participation.
Commonly evaluated conditions include:
- Cognitive impairment or memory disorders
- Intellectual or developmental disabilities
- PTSD and trauma-related disorders
- Severe anxiety or depressive disorders
- Neurological or brain-related conditions
Each case is evaluated individually. A diagnosis alone is not sufficient without documented functional impact.
What USCIS Expects in a N-648 Evaluation
What USCIS Expects in a N-648 Evaluation
From a review standpoint, USCIS looks for clarity, consistency, and clinical reasoning.
A properly prepared evaluation must:
- Be completed by a licensed psychologist or physician
- Be based on a clinical interview and professional assessment
- Clearly explain symptom severity and functional impact
- Avoid vague or generalized statements
- Align with the applicant’s medical and psychological history
Incomplete or unclear documentation often leads to delays or Requests for Evidence.
How the Evaluation Process Works
How the Evaluation Process Works
The service follows a structured clinical process aligned with USCIS requirements.
Clinical Interview
A comprehensive interview explores mental health history, cognitive functioning, daily limitations, and symptom progression.
Psychological Assessment
When clinically appropriate, standardized tools support diagnostic impressions and functional findings.
Form N-648 Completion
The medical certification is completed carefully, using precise language that explains how the condition prevents exam participation.
Supporting Documentation
When needed, a professional psychological report accompanies the certification to reinforce clinical findings.
Nationwide Remote Evaluations
Nationwide Remote Evaluations
Evaluations are available nationwide through secure remote sessions. Remote assessments follow the same professional and ethical standards as in-person evaluations and are commonly accepted when conducted appropriately.
This allows applicants across the United States to access the service without travel barriers.
Why Clinical Experience Matters
Why Clinical Experience Matters
N-648 evaluations require more than completing a form. They require:
- Understanding how USCIS interprets clinical language
- Experience linking symptoms to functional limitations
- Awareness of common documentation errors
- Precision to avoid inconsistencies or ambiguity
A clinically grounded evaluation reduces the risk of delays and unnecessary complications in the naturalization process.
Telehealth and in‑person options
Telehealth and in‑person options
Depending on state rules and professional standards, some evaluations may be completed via secure telemedicine. When telehealth is used, we adhere to applicable regulations and ethical guidelines, ensuring that we collect sufficient clinical data to form a reliable opinion.
For many clients, combining telehealth record review with an in‑person cognitive assessment provides the best balance of access and accuracy.
