MyCase Immigration Add-On

The introduction of the MyCase Immigration Add-On, powered by Docketwise, marks a significant expansion of the MyCase platform. This new feature allows law firms to manage immigration cases seamlessly without the need to toggle between different tools, thus ensuring a unified workflow. Notable features include:

• Smart Forms: Client data pre-population eliminates the need for manual entry, streamlining form preparation.

• USCIS Case Tracking: Automatically updates users on the status of immigration cases, facilitating informed decision-making for attorneys and clients alike.
