The TMD operators are systematically ordered with respect to TMD-twist, which allows a certain separation of kinematic and genuine power corrections. The process dependence enters via the boundary conditions for the background fields. As a proof of principle, we derive the effective operator for hadronic tensor in TMD factorization up to the next-to-leading power (similar to q(T)/Q) at the next-to-leading order for any process with two detected states. %~
