Page 1, Who Should File Form I-192?	[page 1] 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.	[page 1] Who Should File Form I-192? [no change] 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 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.
