Instructions for Application for Advance Permission to

Enter as a Nonimmigrant

USCIS

Form I-192

Department of Homeland Security

OMB No. 1615-0017

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Expires 06/30/2018

What Is the Purpose of Form I-192?

This application allows inadmissible nonimmigrant aliens to apply for advance permission to temporarily enter the United

States.

You can find grounds of inadmissibility in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 212(a). You can find

the statutory and regulatory basis for this application in INA section 212(d)(3)(A)(ii); Title 8 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR), section 212.4; INA section 212(d)(13) and (14); 8 CFR 212.16 and 17; and 8 CFR 214.11 and 214.14

for T nonimmigrant status applicants and U nonimmigrant status petitioners.

Who Should File Form I-192?

File Form I-192 if you are an inadmissible foreign national in one of the following categories:

1. Inadmissible nonimmigrant already in possession of appropriate documents;

2. Applicant for T nonimmigrant status (Form I-914); or

3. Petitioner for U nonimmigrant status (Form I-918).

NOTE: If you are planning to seek admission under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) under INA section 217, you should

NOT file this application. Aliens from VWP countries who are inadmissible are not eligible for VWP admission. You

must apply instead for a nonimmigrant visa at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate for authorization to travel. You should

contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate if you have any questions regarding your eligibility for admission

under the VWP or regarding a waiver of inadmissibility in connection with an application for nonimmigrant visa.

NOTE: Do not file this application if you need to obtain a nonimmigrant visa. You should contact the appropriate

U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate if you have any questions regarding your eligibility for waiver of inadmissibility in

connection with an application for a nonimmigrant visa.

NOTE: If you are seeking T nonimmigrant status or U nonimmigrant status, and you are only inadmissible under

INA section 212(a)(4) (public charge), you do NOT need to file this application because you are exempt from this ground

of inadmissibility.
