AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to waive certain naturalization requirements for United States nationals.

The bill also provides the Secretary of Homeland Security with discretion to waive personal interviews and reduce naturalization application fees for U.S. nationals seeking citizenship under this provision.
