Form I-192 and Form I-212 are two legal instruments used in the United States to grant entry or re-entry to nonimmigrant aliens from visa-exempt countries who are deemed inadmissible. While Form I-192 allows them to apply in advance for temporary permission to enter, Form I-212 permits them to apply for consent to reapply for admission after being excluded, deported, removed, or unlawfully present in the United States for over a year. In short, both forms serve as a means for inadmissible nonimmigrant aliens from visa-exempt countries to obtain legal entry or re-entry into the United States.
