N-336 Citizenship Denial Appeals: Fighting for Your Right to Naturalize

Immigration Law Firm

At Abogada Vida, we know how devastating it can feel to have your citizenship application denied. For many, naturalization represents the final step in their immigration journey and the beginning of a secure new vida in the United States. A denial is not always the end of the road. With the right legal guidance, you may be able to challenge the decision through Form N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings.

What Is Form N-336?

Form N-336 is used to request a hearing before a USCIS officer after your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, has been denied. This process allows you to:

Ask for a formal review of the denial
Present new evidence that supports your eligibility
Correct misunderstandings or errors made in your case
Make legal arguments as to why you qualify for citizenship

It is your opportunity to keep fighting for your chance to become a U.S. citizen.

Deadlines Matter

Timing is critical when filing Form N-336. You must file within:

30 days of receiving your denial notice, or
33 days if the notice was mailed to you

Missing this deadline can close the door on your ability to appeal.

The Appeal Process

Once your Form N-336 is filed:

USCIS will schedule a hearing, usually within 180 days.
At the hearing, you and your attorney can present new documents, testimony, and legal arguments.
A USCIS officer will review your case again and issue a decision.

Fees and Exceptions

There is a government filing fee for Form N-336. However, individuals who applied for naturalization based on qualifying U.S. military service may be exempt from paying this fee.
