How to track employee immigration cases without spreadsheet chaos.

A practical guide to designing case stages, milestones, SLAs and reporting — so HR, employees and counsel always see the same status. Built around immigration case management software.

Case tracking

When immigration runs on email and spreadsheets, status updates arrive late and audit trails are thin. The fix isn't more meetings — it's a shared case workflow that everyone (HR, the employee and counsel) can see live.

1. Define case stages

Eligibility check, documentation, filing, decision, post-arrival, renewal — the same stages for every case so reporting is comparable.

2. Set milestone SLAs

Per-stage SLAs make slippage visible early. Overdue tasks surface on the case timeline, not in someone's inbox.

3. Centralise documents

One document hub per case with versioning and access controls — no chasing files across drives.

4. Give the employee a portal

An assignee portal lets the employee see status, upload documents and chat with counsel — reducing HR's load.

5. Report by population

Slice cases by country, business unit, route or vendor for QBRs and audit.

6. Plan renewals proactively

A renewal calendar prevents lapses. Compliance alerts warn HR before deadlines.
