What If Your Application for Citizenship Is Denied?
Your citizenship application may be denied if you submit it before you have met the residency requirement, failed the necessary exams, or have not continuously resided in the U.S. for the proper period, among other reasons. In these cases, you will remain a lawful permanent resident. However, the USCIS may move to revoke your green card if they discover evidence of fraud or residency issues.
Should the USCIS deny your citizenship application, you have appeal options. You can file a form N-336 to request a hearing on the initial decision. Retaining an attorney is beneficial during this process, as they can fight for your best interests and offer crucial advice.
