Instructions for Application for Advance Permission to  
Enter as a Nonimmigrant  
USCIS  
Form I-192  
OMB No. 1615-0017  
Expires 10/31/2023  
Department of Homeland Security  
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services  
What Is the Purpose of Form I-192?  
Use this application if you are inadmissible and are seeking advance permission to temporarily enter the United States as a  
nonimmigrant.  
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), 8 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 principal or derivative T nonimmigrant status (Form I-914 or I-914, Supplement A); or  
3. Petitioner for principal or derivative U nonimmigrant status (Form I-918 or I-918, Supplement A).  
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: If you need a visa to come to the United States as a nonimmigrant (other than as a T or U nonimmigrant) do  
not file this application. 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.

Filing Fee. Each application must be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section  
of these Instructions.)  
Biometric Services Fee. If you file this application with USCIS, you do not need to include a biometric services fee  
at the time you submit your application. If you are later notified that you must submit biometrics, you will receive a  
biometric services appointment notice with instructions on how to submit the additional biometric services fee. If you file  
this application with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), please check with CBP to determine if and when you  
must submit a biometric services fee.  
Evidence. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed in the What Evidence  
Must You Submit and/or Specific Instructions sections of these Instructions.  
Biometric Services Appointment  
1. For Applicants Filing Form I-192 with USCIS. USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide  
biometrics (for example, fingerprints, photograph, and/or a signature) at any time to verify your identity, obtain  
additional information, and conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal history records  
maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), before making a decision on your application or petition.  
After USCIS receives your application and ensures it is complete, we will inform you in writing if you need to attend  
a biometric services appointment. If an appointment is necessary, the notice will provide you the location of your  
local or designated USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) and the date and time of your appointment or, if you are  
currently overseas, instruct you to contact a U.S. Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office outside the United States  
to set up an appointment.  
If you are required to provide biometrics, at your appointment you must sign an oath reaffirming that:  
A. You provided or authorized all information in the application;  
B. You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted with, your application; and  
C. All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the time of filing.  
If you fail to attend your biometric services appointment, USCIS may deny your application.  
2. For Applicants Filing Form I-192 with CBP. Contact CBP to determine where and when to attend a biometric  
services appointment for the purpose of filing your Form I-192.  
Copies. You should submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the Instructions specifically state that you  
must submit an original document. USCIS or CBP may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time  
during processing of an application or petition. If USCIS requests an original document from you, it will be returned to  
you after USCIS determines it no longer needs your original.  
NOTE: If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may be  
immediately destroyed after we receive them.  
Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English  
translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that  
he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator’s  
signature. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recommends the certification contain the translator’s printed  
name, the signature date, and the translator’s contact information.
