A:
Based on the information provided, it seems you have filed Form N-336, which is a Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings. After submitting the form with evidence, you are currently waiting for a decision letter regarding your case. Here's my advice:
1. Continue waiting for the decision: The processing times for Form N-336 can vary, and it is not unusual for it to take several months to receive a decision. The USCIS processing time information can give you an estimate of how long it might take, but each case is unique.
2. Follow up with USCIS: If you have been waiting for a significant period beyond the estimated processing time, you can contact USCIS to inquire about the status of your case. You can do this by calling the USCIS Contact Center or by submitting an online case inquiry.
3. Avoid applying for citizenship again: It is generally not advisable to submit a new application for citizenship (Form N-400) while your Form N-336 is pending. This could lead to confusion and potentially delay the processing of your case.
4. Consult with an immigration attorney: If you have concerns about your case or the waiting time, it may be beneficial to consult with an experienced immigration attorney. They can review your case, provide guidance, and help you understand your options.
Remember, each case is different, and processing times can vary. It's important to be patient and allow USCIS time to review your Form N-336 and make a decision. In the meantime, make sure to keep all your documentation organized and be prepared to respond to any requests for additional information from USCIS.
