This form is provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as a means for certain inadmissible nonimmigrant aliens to apply for permission to enter the United States. This form is also used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to grant temporary permission to certain inadmissible nonimmigrants who wish to enter the United States through a port of entry pursuant to section 212(d)(3) of the INA and 8 CFR 212.4. USCIS also uses this form to address inadmissibility issues for T (Victims of Severe Forms of Trafficking in Persons) and U (Victims of Criminal Activity) petitioners. This is in accordance with 8 CFR 212.16, 8 CFR 212.17 and 8 CFR 214.14.
USCIS does not anticipate any program changes or adjustments to this information collection as a result of the Biometrics Rule. USCIS is exempting Form I-192 applicants from the biometrics requirement, as the application does not grant an immigration benefit. This general exemption does not preclude USCISâs authority to require biometrics from an I-192 applicant if needed on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, USCIS added a new Biometric Services Appointment paragraph to the Form I-192 Instructions. USCIS also removed the Biographic Information Collection questions and instructions. The addition of Biometric Services Appointment language and removing Biographic Information Collection questions did not increase the estimated time burden per response. USCIS expects that case-by-case biometrics collection will be too infrequent to cause a meaningful increase in the estimated annual time burden for this information collection. USCIS does not estimate an out-of-pocket cost to respondents for biometrics collection, however, the Instructions explain that if an applicant is required to submit biometrics, an $85 biometric services fee may apply. As explained in Question 14, USCIS uses fees collected for a Form to estimate the cost to the Federal government.
