Hi All. About to file my N400. (I'm a few days late and hating myself!!)

 

I tried searching but is there any info out there about Paper vs Online applications being faster/better/easier etc?

 

Thanks!

I filed online.   What I liked about it is that USCIS receives your application instantly and you get a case number instantly too.  Also the fees are taken from your account the same day.   If you send them by paper it takes a few days to do that.   So its faster that way, even if for a few ways.   I found it really easy to fill out and your online account keeps all your information, documents, etc.   I would recommend it for many reasons.

There is no deadline for the N-400😉 Word on the street is that online is generally better.

Your Input Is Appreciated On This VJ Guide Proposal:

Am in the same boat too, trying to figure out which is better, online or paper. Somehow I was told that online takes longer, which I don't understand why it would.

I applied online for both of my parents. It is much nicer than paper. The whole process took about 5 months for both of them.

When I did my N400 in 2017 I did it on paper and then I found out you could do it online. Anyways it's done and I am a USC now but my case took about 15 months to reach interview/test stage pretty much because I live in South FL so the USCIS offices in this area are always backlogged. I usually hear here that online is faster. It's up to you what you prefer.
