Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
A copy of the Naturalization form in each of its previous versions from the current N-400 back to the first form issued for the application for naturalization.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Matthew Hoppock

Your response does not make any sense. I am not asking for anyone else's records. I'm also not asking for my records. I'm asking for historical versions of the N-400 form back to the first form issued for the application for naturalization. I don't need to use the G-639 form because I'm not requesting alien records from anyone's alien file. I just want the blank forms, with each version going back to the beginning.
Please adjudicate my request.
From: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
Good afternoon Mr. Hoppock,
We received your request for historical copies of the Form N-400.
I spoke with our program office, and they informed me that they have blank versions of the Form N-400 back to 1959, and filled out versions going back to the late 1940's. We'd have to redact the filled out versions. We're looking at approximately 50-60 MB of data, and it will take a while to gather all the information.
We're required to narrow a request if we can, so I've got a couple questions for you.
1. Are you looking for something specifically? If so, we can narrow the request. We look for the customer to specify the dates of the information they are requesting.
2. Would going back five years give you what you need?
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

I’d prefer the blank versions of the Form N-400 back to 1959. Not looking for any filled-out versions. I’m writing an article on naturalization and what kind of misrepresentations might be targeted by Trump’s new denaturalization task force. The blank forms going back to 1959 would give me the total picture of what I’m looking for. Thank you.

Mr. Hyson,
I'm writing to follow up again on this long-pending FOIA request (COW2018000806), asking for historical copies of the Form N-400. You asked for clarification in 2018, and I responded. But after that I never received a response. I can't tell if it's still pending.
Since the request is just for blank forms, which shouldn't require any redaction, I'm puzzled at the delay. Is there anything else I can do to assist or clarify the request to make it easier to complete? Please let me know. Thanks.
