I'm thinking about renewing my AP online. Are there any disadvantages to the electronic filing vs paper renewal application? Do I need to go to Finger Printing appointment (USCIS website says that fingerprints are not required for online AP renewal but I do not trust their website as the information is sometimes outdated)? Can I upload digital photographs or do I still need to mail paper photos along with the supporting docs? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

My thoughts:
For paper filing, the case will be entered in the database on (or around) the notice date. Whereas for e-filing, I think the case has been already entered in the system during filing. Typically the notice date lags behind the receipt date. So isn't e-file is faster?
Comments appreciated.

For all the guys who have renewed their AP multiple times. I am asking the most commonly asked question, what is "Class of Admission" ?
I entered US on H1B (per my I-94) but now I am working on an EAD (voided my H1B status).
There is a debate between:
Class of Admission = The visa status you have used to enter US the last time
Class of Admission = Your current immigration status
what do you guys think ? Shall I write "I-485 pending" (my current status) or "H1B" (my last entry status) ?

My lawyer had adviced me 2 years back to use 'I-485 Adj." I have been using that since and getting my approvals.
