How does immigration case management handle employer-sponsored cases?

Immigration case management software handles employer-sponsored cases by adding employer-specific data fields, HR portal access, multi-party tracking (employer, beneficiary, dependents), and compliance checks tied to employment-based visa requirements like Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) and prevailing wage documentation.

Employer-sponsored cases involve a different intake path than individual petitions because the employer or HR representative often initiates the case. eimmigration includes a case initiation request feature that allows HR representatives to start a case for employees directly, along with an HR portal that gives corporate clients a dedicated interface for managing their sponsored workers. The automatic CBP data import pulls I-94 records and travel history from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which is directly relevant for tracking work authorization status on employer-sponsored visas. Industry-standard workflow stages for employer cases typically follow a sequence: employer intake and eligibility review, LCA preparation (for H-1B cases), supporting evidence collection, petition drafting, internal review, e-filing, and post-filing tracking.

Firms typically have their own nuanced workflows for different types of employer-sponsored cases (e.g. internal review processes). So case management systems should allow firms to customize workflows for different case types to match their own internal processes. Platforms with dedicated employment-based modules may also include prevailing wage compliance monitoring and automated alerts when LCA posting periods are due to expire, though the specific compliance checks available vary by vendor.
