Auto-Complete CaseMilestones on Case Create

Use Case:
When a user creates a case, an email response is delivered to a customer. This email should complete a "first response" milestone.

Technical Issue:
Trigger logic on the Case or EmailMessage objects cannot access CaseMilestones because they are created later asynchronously. I tried @Future calls, but CaseMilestone records still do not exist. A combo of Batch Apex Jobs scheduled from Triggers will successfully update CaseMilestones, but this is far from ideal.

Has anyone come across a solution to the need for immediate access to CaseMilestone records? (Some other use cases come to mind: Auto-complete "resolution" milestone if case is closed on create.)

You should be able to update case milestones using the process builder: https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000CtkDAAS

Here are some triggger examples as well:
