The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“The Trump administration has directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to end language translation services for people calling for information about their immigration or employment status or their benefits.

In keeping with his March 1 order making English the official language of the United States, the president has directed the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to cancel a contract with a translation service provider, according to Government Executive magazine.”

“1.Is Speaking English a Requirement for U.S. Citizenship?

“No, speaking English is not an absolute requirement for U.S. citizenship. However, there are specific language requirements that applicants must meet. To become a U.S. citizen, applicants must demonstrate their ability to read, write, and speak basic English. They will be tested on their English language skills during the naturalization interview. There are exemptions from the English language requirement for certain individuals, including those who are over a certain age and have been permanent residents for a long time.”
