We prove the ${k}_{T}$ factorization theorem in perturbative QCD (PQCD) for exclusive processes by considering $\ensuremath{\pi}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}(\ensuremath{\pi})$ and $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}\ensuremath{\gamma}(\ensuremath{\pi})l\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}.$ The relevant form factors are expressed as the convolution of hard amplitudes with two-parton meson wave functions in the impact parameter b space, b being conjugate to the parton transverse momenta ${k}_{T}.$ The point is that on-shell valence partons carry longitudinal momenta initially, and acquire ${k}_{T}$ through collinear gluon exchanges. The b-dependent two-parton wave functions with an appropriate path for the Wilson links are gauge-invariant. The hard amplitudes, defined as the difference between the parton-level diagrams of on-shell external particles and their collinear approximation, are also gauge-invariant. We compare the predictions for two-body nonleptonic B meson decays derived from ${k}_{T}$ factorization (the PQCD approach) and from collinear factorization (the QCD factorization approach).
