My wife is approaching her 3rd anniversary with her permanent resident card so she is applying for naturalization. She has short term memory issues well documented by neuropsychologist exam and neurologist testing. So I had the neurologist fill out form N-648 and it says she has impairments reading, speaking, and writing English plus limited ability to answer questions regarding US history and civics.
So my question is the applicant statement on N-400 says "I can read and understand English and I have read and understood every question and instruction on this application and my answer to every question". So she used a translator on the computer or my help if she doesn't understand a question, she did not utilize an interpreter. It seems a little counterintuitive to sign that statement yet submit form N-648 saying she has impairments with reading writing and speaking English. My thought is that signing the N-400 statement saying I can read and understand English means she understands the form but she can't necessarily pass an exam due to memory issues.
So is it OK to sign the N-400 applicant statement saying she can read and understand English in this case with her impairment? I'm thinking they would be understanding about her health issues
