On November 5, 2021, the ILRC participated in comments to USCIS with the Naturalization Working Group concerning proposed revisions to the N-648 form for Medical Certification for Disability Exception for naturalization applicants. The form revisions overall represent an improvement over prior versions by shortening the form and eliminating irrelevant questions. The comment also urges USCIS to withdraw 2018 – 2020 changes to volume 12 of the USCIS policy manual that continue to unnecessarily limit eligibility for disability waiver applicants.
