Note: Applicants by Case Country and Applicants by Visa Issuing Country views are exclusive for Enterprise edition.
b. Ability to report on previous Appointment/Interview/Court Dates
Report 3.0 will now provide an ability to report on the previous Appointments, Interviews, and Court Dates in their respective reports. This will help the case managers to review the past schedules along with the future appointments, interviews, and Court Dates.
These reports are available at Reports > Reports 3.0 > Partner / Manager Reports (or Paralegal / Case Worker Reports) > Upcoming Case Activity
c. Enhancement to Priority Dates Report
This enhancement in Priority Dates Reports will highlight the profiles that have their Priority date as Current in the previous month's Visa Bulletin Report. This will help case managers to directly derive action plans for the Foreign Nationals by segregating these profiles as Current from previous and the latest Visa Bulletin Report.
We are adding a new column 'Eligibility as per Previous Visa Bulletin' to the Priority Dates Report which will mark the FN Profiles as 'Eligible' that were Current in the previous month's Priority Dates Report.
Case managers will now be able to identify the Foreign Nationals that have their Priority Date turned to Current for the latest Visa Bulletin Report by ignoring the eligibility for the previous Visa Bulletin Report.
