Either you fill it online OR complete it manually with black pen. Both ways are accepted but make sure manual handwriting is legible if you're doing it manually.

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

Handwriting the application will not delay it in any way.  If they can't read your handwriting, though, they will send the entire application back to you and tell you to submit a new one----which then would delay your processing a little bit, yes.

Nowadays, since you can download the form N400 PDF from USCIS onto your computer, why dont you just fill the form on the computer and print it out for subsmission? i dont think handwritting is a good idea since you have better option . 

 

imaging if you were the officer reviewing the N400 form but the form is handwritten horribly, do you still have appetite to continue ?

While I agree that it's better to type it out so that it's more legible, I sincerely doubt officers are adjudicating applications based on how well the applicant's handwriting is as part of their criteria for determining approval of citizenship.

You should be able to directly work on the PDF downloaded from the USCIS website.  Save the PDF to your computer once it's downloaded, then open it up and you should be able to edit it (fill it in) and save your work as you go.
