Form N-336Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Under Section 336 of the INA)

You can request a hearing if your Form N-400 is denied after your eligibility interview, and if you believe you can overcome the grounds for denial.

You should file your Form N-336 within 30 calendar days of receiving the decision denying your Form N-400 (or within 33 calendar days if we mailed the decision to you). Generally, USCIS will reject 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.  However, if you do not timely file your request for a hearing, but it meets the requirements for a motion to reopen or motion to reconsider, USCIS will reopen or reconsider your case and send you a decision.

For further information regarding when and how to file your N-336, refer to the instructions for Form N-336 and the When to Use Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion webpage.

You may file your Form N-336 online or by mail (paper).
