Obetz · Columbus Metro
Why this Form N-336 page is written for Obetz
Across Columbus Metro, immigration paperwork tends to cluster around three life events: a family member arriving, a green card renewing or being replaced, and a permanent resident reaching the naturalization window. Obetz families work with us to make sure their packet tells one consistent story — the same names, dates, addresses, and relationship facts appear identically across every page.
a community where Somali, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Nepali are spoken every day across schools, workplaces, and houses of worship — and Obetz, with a population near 5,311, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
COTA bus service connects the metro, but most appointments require driving — most clients reach our office via I-71, I-270, or Cleveland Ave. From Obetz (ZIP 43207), the trip is roughly 11 miles each way.
Obetz sits in Columbus Metro, home to Ohio State University, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan Chase operations, and the rapidly growing Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in Licking County. Franklin County, where Obetz is located, is a tight-knit small community where the county clerk's office handles most document needs and federal services require a short drive.
Obetz is about 11 miles from our Morse Rd office — roughly a 20-minute drive. Most clients complete their entire packet in a single visit, so the round trip is rarely repeated. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Obetz clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Form N-336 and when should I file it?+
Form N-336 is a request for a hearing before a USCIS officer after your N-400 naturalization application was denied. You have exactly 30 days from the date on your denial notice to file N-336. Missing this deadline means you lose the right to a hearing. Contact Asal Multi Services immediately if you receive a denial notice.
What are the most common reasons N-400 applications are denied?+
Common reasons for N-400 denial include failing the English language or civics test, not meeting the continuous residence or physical presence requirements, a criminal history affecting good moral character, or failure to file taxes or pay child support. An N-336 hearing gives you the opportunity to address these issues with additional evidence.
What happens at an N-336 hearing?+
An N-336 hearing is conducted by a senior USCIS officer who was not involved in the original denial decision. You will have the opportunity to present new evidence, correct errors, retake any failed tests, and explain your case. The officer will issue a new decision — either approving your naturalization or upholding the denial.
If my N-336 hearing is also denied, what are my options?+
If USCIS denies your N-336 hearing, you have the right to file a petition for review in federal district court within 120 days. This requires legal representation. Asal Multi Services can help you prepare your N-336 filing and, if needed, refer you to immigration attorneys who handle federal court naturalization cases.
