Children born abroad prior to 1934 to U.S. citizen mothers and alien fathers were not U.S. citizens at birth. while children born abroad to U.S. citizen fathers and alien mothers were U.S. citizens. This unequal treatment has been allowed to stand in the law for far too long. H.R. 783 puts an end to it. Section 3 of the bill embodies a compromise worked out between Congressman BARNEY FRANK and me. Currently. applicants for naturalization must pass an English language test and a U.S. Government and history test. Age and disability waivers are available for the English test. H.R. 783 modifies the disability waiver and extends it to apply to the test on Government and history.
