New I-130, which is best? File it online or mail it in?

[JayFromTexas 69]

Getting ready to submit an I-130 and I-130a, plus an I-130 for stepdaughter. Is it better to fill out and file online or do you recommend that I mail it in.

 

Thanks in advance!

Everything we have filed so far did not have the online option, and we wish it did. 

 

So, if we had to file something else and it could be done online, we would go for that.

We filed our I-130 and 1-130a online. Less paper for us.

Online is the way to go. No chance of things getting lost in the mail.

On paper, by mail or courier is still my recommendation, due to glitches with the online form and a host of other niggling issues.
