have asked travelers to apply for their tourist permits online through the CBP One mobile app that serves as a portal for a variety of CBP services, or via the following route http://i800.cbp.dhs.gov.
According to official information, applicants will receive an I-1200 provisional after submitting your application and payment online and the process will be considered complete when travelers present themselves at a port of entry within seven days of their request to be interviewed by a CBP officer, send biometric scans and take a photo.
