I doubt this is true for 2023.
If you check Google sheet for 2023 all the ones who got Oath within < 150 days are online ones.
Also 95+% of decision made are Online ones. Personally I feel the paper speed has lost its momentum.
I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing it out.

Hi all, i tried summarizing the google sheets for the past three years to get a sense of which type of application (paper vs online) is trending faster at what period. Looks like for late 2022 and early 2023, online application is moving faster than paper. This trend has been changing for the past two years:
-Jan - May 2021: Online moved faster
- Jun 2021 - Sep 2022: Paper moved faster
- Oct 2022 - May 2023: Online application is faster

Please find screenshots attached.

Hello Everyone,

I applied online for my family as a group on July 01, 2023. As of today, I have not received the AOR yet!

Hey folks,

I am becoming eligible to apply for citizenship in December 2023 as a Single applicant and this thread seems to be the best place for my question:

ONLINE OR PAPER application?

I am highly confused and don't want any regrets, so would really appreciate if I can get some good guidance. Thanks!
