According to the BCIS information sources, there is practically no difference between the e-filing and the paper-filing of I-765 when it comes to the processing of the EAD application. The sources indicate that the application will be adjudicated in the order of receipt. Assuming that the EAD application is filed by overnight delivery services, when it comes to the processing time of one's application, one may make only one-day difference from the online filing. Considering the fact that the online filing requires additional trip to ASC for photographing and fingerprinting plus submission of required documentation by mail post online filing, one wonders how much incentive the online filing of I-765 application will give the applicants. It appears that for the online filing system to be effective, the BCIS should give some level of additional benefit over the paper filing.
