What is N-336?

If USCIS denies your Form N-400, you do not have to start over. Form N-336 requests a hearing before an immigration officer, generally someone other than the officer who denied the application, who reviews the record, can take new evidence and testimony, and may affirm or reverse the denial. It is the required administrative step before seeking review of a naturalization denial in federal district court.

The deadline is strict: the request generally must be filed within 30 days of the decision. The form asks which parts of the decision you contest and lets you attach a brief or additional evidence, which is often where these cases are won, for example new evidence on good moral character or a corrected record on continuous residence.

Who files N-336?

Applicants whose Form N-400 was denied and who believe the decision was wrong
Applicants with new evidence addressing the reason for denial, such as tax compliance or disposition of an arrest
Attorneys or accredited representatives filing on behalf of a denied applicant with Form G-28
Applicants preserving their right to later federal court review of the denial

How to fill out N-336

Read the denial notice carefully and note the decision date; your filing window is short.
Complete the form, identifying the denied application and the specific findings you contest.
Attach a brief or written statement and any new evidence that answers the reason for denial.
File within 30 days of the decision, with the current fee, following the filing options in the N-336 instructions; USCIS also offers online filing through a USCIS account.
Attend the hearing prepared to testify and present your evidence to the reviewing officer.

Worth knowing: The filing deadline is short and strictly enforced; check your denial notice and the current fee at uscis.gov before filing.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file Form N-336?

Generally 30 days from the date of the denial decision. Miss the deadline and the denial becomes final, leaving a new N-400 as the usual remedy. Confirm the exact deadline stated in your denial notice.

What happens at the hearing?

A different immigration officer conducts a full review. The officer can re-examine you, accept new evidence, and even re-test English or civics if that was the basis of denial, then affirms or reverses the decision.

What if the N-336 is also denied?

After an unfavorable hearing decision you may seek review in federal district court, or file a new N-400 if the underlying issue has been resolved or enough time has passed.
