Appeal Rights pertaining to U.S. Nationality/Citizenship Claims through form N-600.
Following the denial of a form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship you have the right to appeal the decision. USCIS might not explain them fully to you.
If you disagree with the N-600 Denial decision you may file an appeal on Form I-290B, with fee, and with any additional evidence to be considered and/or a brief identifying specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact along with legal references and/or specifying the evidence that you believe was misinterpreted with an explanation of the facts and evidence as you interpret them.
An appeal to the AAO must be filed with the office that made the decision within 30 days of the date of the Denial Notice for personal service, 33 days if received by mail.
If an appeal is not filed within the time allowed, a new N-600 may not be filed see 8 CFR 341.6. Instead, if at a later date you wish to pursue this citizenship claim anew, you may file, pursuant to 8 CFR 341.6, a form I-290B, with the current fee as of the date of that filing, for:
1.) a late Motion to Reopen with additional evidence and/or,
2.) a late Motion to Reconsider along with a brief identifying specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact, along with legal references, and/or identifying the evidence that you believe was misinterpreted with an explanation of the facts as you interpret them.
