What Is the Purpose of Form N-336?

You should use Form N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings, to request a hearing

before an immigration officer on the denial of your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

A Guide to Naturalization

To help you understand the naturalization process, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) developed A

Guide to Naturalization (M-476). This publication provides information on eligibility requirements and naturalization

procedures for immigrants considering U.S. citizenship. If you do not already have a copy of M-476, you can obtain a

copy from the USCIS website at

When Should You File Form N-336?

You should file your request for a hearing (Form N-336) within 30 calendar days of receiving the decision denying your

Form N-400.

USCIS will reject (not accept) a request that is not timely filed. USCIS will not refund the filing fee if Form N-336

is rejected because it was not timely filed. If, however, your request for a hearing is not timely filed, but it meets the

requirements for a motion to reopen or motion to reconsider, USCIS will issue a decision in your case.

What Evidence Must You Submit?

You must submit all evidence requested in these instructions with your request. If you fail to submit required evidence,

USCIS may reject or deny your request for failure to submit requested evidence or supporting documents or to establish

eligibility in accordance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(1) and these Instructions.

Supporting Documents. You may submit any additional documents or briefs to support your Form N-336 at the time of

filing your Form N-336 or at the time of your Form N-336 hearing.
