T Visa Lockbox Delays and Rejections
The Problem
Applicants for T visas are experiencing long wait times for receipt notices and frequent rejections due to missing or outdated forms at the USCIS lockbox. This creates a 'limbo' state where applicants lack proof of pending status, complicating their legal standing.
Solution
Applicants are sharing detailed timelines to track processing trends and advise others to perform a full resubmission if initial filings are rejected. Maintaining copies of all correspondence and tracking delivery receipts is essential for managing these delays.
Sharing my T Visa timeline because receipts took a very long time and I know others are stuck in lockbox limbo.
