I-918 U-Visa pending with bona fide determination; prior student visa overstay, pending asylum 2016

Hi AVVO Lawyers, I came to United States in 2015 as Student F1 flee from prosecution of my life. Never been to College, after 6-7 months Applied Asylum and got my work permit a year later.

While working night shift on Store i got Robbed on gun point and was very scared of my life. That causes me trauma. It took 1-2 years to be little normal as i was on therapy and medication. In 2020 i applied for i918 petition and U-Certificate signed by police, My statements and all Evidence and news documents. In 2024 in August i received notice from USCIS as i got Bonafide. & Deferred Action. Then i applied for my EAD with U-visa

I want to know i didn’t applied or sent the Form i-192 waiver.

Do i need a waiver before i get my U-visa Approved in few years.

If i didn’t file the waiver at the time of filing i918 petition for U-visa. Will it get denied.

Just worried about the waiver form i-192

Please help.

Thank you all.
