How does immigration case management handle deadline tracking?
Immigration case management software tracks deadlines by monitoring document expiration dates, government filing windows, RFE response periods, Visa Bulletin priority dates, and workflow-specific task due dates, then sending automated alerts to the responsible staff members at configurable intervals before each deadline arrives.
eimmigration's deadline tracking system monitors expiration dates up to 180 days in advance for documents like I-94s, passports, visas, and employment authorization documents. Staff can schedule automated alerts in client and case profiles to trigger reminders at specific intervals (commonly 90, 60, and 30 days before expiration). The system also monitors USCIS processing times and Visa Bulletin information, notifying attorneys when petitions become eligible for processing based on current priority date movement. The daily planner consolidates all upcoming casework into a single view so staff can see exactly what needs attention today. The types of deadlines tracked in immigration practice span document expirations (passport, visa, EAD), government response windows (87 days for RFEs, 30 days for NOIDs), biometrics and interview appointment dates, and recruitment milestones for PERM cases. Every deadline check, reminder sent, and action taken is logged in the system, which creates the audit trail needed if a firm must demonstrate it acted within required timeframes.
