Page 4	New section between “USCIS Forms and Information” and “Penalties”	Accommodations for Individuals With Disabilities and/or Impairments USCIS is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities and impairments. Accommodations vary with the disability(ies) and/or impairment(s) and involve modifications to practices or procedures. For example, if you are: 1. Unable to use your hands, you may be permitted to take a test orally rather than in writing; 2. Hearing-impaired, you may be provided with a sign-language interpreter for a USCIS-sponsored training session; or 3. Unable to travel to a designated USCIS location for an interview, you may be visited at your home or a hospital. If you believe that you need us to accommodate your disability(ies) and/or impairment(s), check the "Yes" box and then check any applicable box that describes the nature of your disability(ies) and/or impairment(s). Also, write the type(s) of accommodation(s) you are requesting on the line(s) provided. If you are requesting a sign-language interpreter, indicate which language. If you need more space, use a separate sheet of paper. NOTE: All domestic USCIS facilities meet the Accessibility Guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act, so you do not need to contact us to request an accommodation for physical access to a domestic USCIS office. USCIS considers requests for accommodations on a case-by-case basis. Asking for an accommodation will not affect your eligibility for the benefit.
