@Queens2008 the processing times as of today is 15.5 months for 80% of cases.

You can check here.

 

I don't think you can tell whether electronic or paper is faster. 

 

The only difference is few days for mail to reach USCIS vs online submission. Which is negligible in the grand scheme of things (15.5 months wait)

Online saves you a few days because it gets accepted immediately. Other than that there’s no difference. The bigger advantage is that the form tailors to you as you fill in the answers, so you know exactly what evidence you need to submit with it.

That's how I see it, too.  Filing online gets you a receipt immediately.

Hi everyone,

 

Which is a faster process applying for citizenship online or paper form?  Also anyone know how long the processing times are for NYC?

 

Thanks!

I was a skeptic and now a believer: electronic N-400 is faster.

Online worked well for us and it was nice to get updates and submit updates through the my.uscis.gov web site.

You can upload evidence and print out notices from the USCIS website in real time.
