How do HR teams track employee green card priority dates?

The same way: a list of employees' categories, countries and priority dates compared with each bulletin. See employer priority date tracking.

How do I notify employees or clients when their priority date becomes current?

The law firm plan sends a client update email when a client's date becomes current under the chart you choose.

For law firms

Is there a tool for immigration firms to monitor the Visa Bulletin for client priority dates?

Updated November 12, 2026 · Not legal advice

Yes. A Visa Bulletin tracker for firms stores each client's category, chargeability country and priority date, compares them with every new bulletin and the USCIS filing chart, and flags the clients who just became current (or retrogressed). Priority Date Alert's law firm plan does this for $99/month and can email clients automatically.

Manual vs automated Visa Bulletin monitoring
Task	By hand (spreadsheet)	Priority Date Alert law firm plan
Read each new bulletin	Paralegal checks the page each month	Parsed automatically when published
Check the USCIS filing chart	Separate monthly check	Included
Find clients who became current	Filter and compare dates by hand	Flagged automatically
Tell the client	Write individual emails	Branded client update emails
Case status for receipt numbers	Check one by one	Checked on a schedule, changes highlighted

What to look for in any tool

Uses both charts and knows which one USCIS designates each month.
Handles the separate rows: EB-3 Other Workers, EB-4 religious workers, EB-5 set-asides.
Handles chargeability (country of birth, cross-chargeability) per client.
Exports or integrates with your case management system.
Does not ask for clients' USCIS account passwords.

Case management software vs a tracker

Case management systems hold forms, documents and deadlines. A tracker sits next to them and watches outside changes: bulletin movement and case status. Check with your current vendor whether it monitors priority dates per client; if not, a tracker fills that gap.
