83C revision request


The address changes to the N-336 are in conjunction with C4 release 8.1 (centralization project) that is currently scheduled to go live in October of 2011. The above changes will facilitate the N-336 to be received and accepted by the USCIS Intake Enhancement via contractor JPMorgan, while Military-based N-336 filers will file with the Nebraska Service Center. This revision will cut down on rejected and lost request for hearings as well as standardize and centralize the intake process.
