I didn't find a blank form but I found this (but be aware it says it CAN contain-doesn't mean it will):

Record Contents. Supreme Court Declarations of Intention and Naturalization Petitions 1907-1924 can contain:

Applicant's name, address, date and place of birth, physical description, occupation
Date and port of embarkation and name of ship
Date and port of arrival in United States o Spouse's name (including wife's maiden name), birthdate, birthplace, and address
Names, birthdates, and birthplaces of children
Names, addresses, and occupations of witnesses
Change of name (An applicant's name could have been changed as part of the naturalization process.)
"But no photographs!" says Bruce Abrams, Archivist of the New York County Clerk's Office/ Division of Old Records. However, another valuable document may be part of the naturalization record. "If a person came through Ellis Island after June 29, 1906, a certificate of arrival was issued for naturalization purposes and should be attached to the naturalization records. The certificate shows the spelling of the immigrant's name on the passenger list, date and port of arrival, and name of ship or train." That name can be different from the name on the naturalization and can be of great help to the researcher in locating other records.
