Learn About the 65/20 Special Consideration.
Certain applicants aged 65 or older who have been lawful permanent residents for at least 20 years may qualify for special consideration under USCIS rules. The civics questions come from a shorter list of 20 starred questions. An officer asks 10 of them, and 6 correct answers are required.
Whether the 2008 or 2025 starred list applies depends on when Form N-400 was filed. This site does not decide eligibility. Read the official rules before you rely on the shorter list.
