SHE is applying for HER citizenship. You are not applying for her.

Yes she will need to take the English test.

Here are the exceptions: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ffe2a3ac86aa3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=ffe2a3ac86aa3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD

She either needs to be over 55 and have lived in the US for 15 years, or over 50 and an LPR for 20 years. She will still need to take the civics test but she CAN take an interpreter.

Basically, she shouldn't file for USC for another 5 years, until she's been an LPR for 15 years. Then she doesn't need to take the English test or the civics test in English.

close. It's 55. See the link I posted above.

VanessaTony pretty much sums it up. If you or she are not confidant of her English, renewing the green card is probably a better bet and then wait until she meets the criteria to avoid the English test.
