USCIS Tightens Disability Exception Policy for Naturalization Process

The main immigration authority in the U.S. has announced that it is narrowing disability exceptions regarding who has to take certain tests in the process of becoming a citizen. It is doing this in the name of “prevention of fraud,” but like most things this administration does with such justification, really this represents yet another attempt to make the already extremely difficult, bureaucratic, and labyrinthine process of applying for citizenship even harder. And as usual, this performative reform comes at the expense of a group of people for whom the process is extra difficult already.
While the state makes things harder for people with disabilities, one way we can fight back is by making our own actions accessible. Never Again’s Access Guide for Direct Actions is one example of this.
