Filing Addresses
The filing addresses provided on this form reflect the most
current information as of the date this form was last printed. If
you are filing Form N-336 more than 30 days after the latest
edition date shown in the lower right corner, visit the USCIS
Web site at www.uscis.gov before you file, and check the
“FORMS” page to confirm the correct filing address and
version currently in use. Check the edition date located at the
lower right corner of the form. If the edition date on your
Form N-336 matches the edition date listed for Form N-336
on the online “FORMS” page, your version is current. If the
edition date on the online version is more recent, download a
copy and use it. If you do not have Internet access, call the
National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 to verify
the current filing address and edition date. USCIS will reject
forms with the wrong revision date and return the fee with
instructions to resubmit the entire filing using the current
form.

You will not receive your original check back. We will
destroy your original check, but we will keep a copy of it. If
the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, you
authorize us to process the copy in place of your original
check. If the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient
funds, we may try to make the transfer up to two times.
How to Check If the Fees Are Correct
The fee on this form is current as of the edition date appearing
in the lower right corner of this page. However, because
USCIS fees change periodically, you can verify if the fees are
correct by following one of the steps below:
1. Visit our Web site at www.uscis.gov, select "FORMS," and
check the appropriate fee;
2. Review the Fee Schedule included in your form package, if
you called us to request the form; or
3. Telephone our National Customer Service Center at

other financial institution located in the United States and
must be payable in U.S. currency; and
