Form I-192 – Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant

The Form I-192 is the official USCIS application used by inadmissible nonimmigrants who need advance permission to temporarily enter the United States. Whether you are applying as a T‑visa victim, a U‑visa applicant, or an inadmissible nonimmigrant who already holds the required documents, this page provides everything you need to fill out the form correctly.

Who Must File Form I-192?

Typical applicants include:

  • Inadmissible nonimmigrants who already possess the appropriate supporting documents.
  • Applicants for T‑nonimmigrant status (victims of human trafficking).
  • Applicants for U‑nonimmigrant status (victims of certain crimes).

If you are traveling under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and are inadmissible, you must apply for a regular nonimmigrant visa instead of using Form I-192.

  • Sign the form: Electronic signatures are not accepted; you must sign a printed copy.
