Overview

With Docketwise, you are able to keep track of your clients' upcoming expiry dates through automatic calendaring and notification reminders. With this feature, you are able to keep track of the following types of expiry dates:

  • US Status Expiry

  • Non-Immigrant Visa Expiry

  • Advanced Parole Expiry

  • Current Authorized Stay Expiry

  • Employment Authorization Document Expiry

  • Petition Expiration

  • Passport or Travel Document Expiry

  • LCA Expiration

  • + Custom Expiry Dates (requires Custom Attributes)

For each of the expiry date types, you can indicate the following information:

  • Event Calendar

  • How long before the expiry date you would like the notification to be sent

  • Recipient(s) of the reminder (admin/all firm members/assignee(s) of associated contact)

After setting up the Expiration Date settings for a given expiry date type (i.e. US Status Expiry Date), an event and a reminder for the event will be created automatically after being added to the contact corresponding to their expiry date.
