Is it true that if you are an immigrant married to US citizen you dont have to take the naturalization test?

Someone told me that when you are a greencard holder and married to a US citizen you dont need to take the test when you apply for Naturalization. Is this true?Is it true that if you are an immigrant married to US citizen you dont have to take the naturalization test?
That is not true. EVERY Permanent Resident who wishes to become a US citizen MUST take the test. The fact that you are married to a US Citizen does NOT grant you automatic citizenship.





Good Luck on the Test! ;o)Is it true that if you are an immigrant married to US citizen you dont have to take the naturalization test?
You still have to take the test, IF you REALY like to be a US citizen. My niece just passed the test and she's married to a US citizen and has green card, too, like you.





You will be asked to take the test based on your 5 yrs of stay or more in the US, you can start applying for US citizenship; or if you have been married to a US Citizen for at least 3 yrs., you are qualified to apply for US citizenship.





Then USCIS will send you a notice when you'll have your fingerprinting. Then after a year, they'll send you the date, time and place when you will take the Naturalization test- oral, which is the interview, and witten.
It's not true. Sorry.
Nope, that isn't true. My mother is from Germany who married my American born father and still had to test for her citizenship.





I do have an aunt though from Mexico who married my uncle some years ago and is living in California with only a greencard. I don't think this is legal but she's getting away with it =]
Not true. Only application who doesn't need to take the exam is who fits here;





Language


Applicants for naturalization must be able to read, write, speak, and understand words in ordinary usage in the English language.





Applicants exempt from this requirement are those who on the date of filing:


have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 15 years or more and are over 55 years of age;


have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 20 years or more and are over 50 years of age; or have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, where the impairment affects the applicant鈥檚 ability to learn English.





United States Government and History Knowledge


An applicant for naturalization must demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history and of the principles and form of government of the United States.





Applicants exempt from this requirement are those who, on the date of filing, have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, where the impairment affects the applicant鈥檚 ability to learn U.S. History and Government


Applicants who have been residing in the U.S. subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for at least 20 years and are over the age of 65 will be afforded special consideration in satisfying this requirement.
