Students who have studied at a school where the language of instruction is English, but the official language of the country is not English do not qualify for a waiver (e.g., study at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, does not qualify a student for the English proficiency waiver).

The English proficiency requirement can also be waived for individuals who have been in the US for three or more years working.
