What case statuses can you track in immigration software?

Immigration software tracks both internal case statuses (reflecting where the case stands within the firm's workflow) and external statuses (reflecting the case's position with USCIS or other government agencies). Internal statuses typically include intake, document collection, application preparation, ready for filing, filed, and closed. External statuses include received, biometrics scheduled, interview scheduled, RFE issued, approved, and denied.

The most operationally valuable status tracking connects directly to government systems so attorneys know when USCIS touches a case without manually checking the USCIS portal. eimmigration's case status lookup shows how many active cases are in progress, their current status with USCIS, and which petitions are eligible for processing based on current Visa Bulletin data. Staff can view all active, archived, and closed cases and find specific cases by time of access, main contact, assignee, case number, receipt number, or notice number. Real-time USCIS notifications alert staff whenever a case status changes, which is particularly important for time-sensitive events like RFE issuance (87-day response window) or Notice of Intent to Deny (30-day response window) where delayed awareness can result in a missed filing deadline.
