Answer
If N-400 is denied:
- You can request hearing with immigration officer
- Or appeal to federal court
- Or refile if circumstances changed
- Your Green Card status remains valid (unless revoked for other reasons)
Common denial reasons: Failed test, insufficient physical presence, criminal issues, abandonment of residence. Address concerns before reapplying.
