However, it is difficult to know the exact <strong>processing time<\/strong>, as it depends on several <strong>factors<\/strong>. Some of the most common causes of delay are:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Missing documentation: <\/strong>If USCIS believes that the documentation submitted is insufficient or erroneous, it may request additional documents. These must be rechecked by USCIS, which delays the process. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of available visas:<\/strong> The U.S. Congress establishes a certain number of available T visas per fiscal year. If these are exhausted, you must wait for a visa to become available. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>USCIS workload:<\/strong> The USCIS workload at the time you file your application also affects processing times. The greater the number of applications filed, the longer the wait time tends to be. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Need for supplemental applications:<\/strong> In some cases, you may need to file other applications in conjunction with your T-visa petition. This is the case for those who need an immigration waiver for a previous ground of inadmissibility. This involves additional processing time, which delays the rest of the T-visa process. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delays in the T-visa process are very common. The large amount of documentation required and the delicate situation of the applicants often leads to errors that delay the application. That is why having an immigration attorney is extremely important. Talk to our professionals and avoid setbacks in your application.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/urbinalawfirm.com\/en\/contact\/\"><strong>Talk to a lawyer<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-many-t-visas-are-issued-per-year\">How many T visas are issued per year?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned above, the U.S. Congress sets a <strong>cap on T visas<\/strong> for each <strong>fiscal year<\/strong>. This<strong> 2024<\/strong>, a limit of <strong>5000 visas<\/strong> has been imposed. Once this quota is exhausted, you will have to wait for a visa to become available again. This is even if your application is approved. Therefore, it is important to apply as soon as possible.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that the cap for each visa class changes from year to year. Therefore, it is best to consult with an attorney and check the USCIS website periodically. Do not risk your application by going through the process on your own.
