Nope, none of the online applicants have received AOR from March yet.

Makes me wonder if I should have applied with paper application and with my kids included :p

Seems like paper applicants with family applications have started getting AOR for March applicants.

Are we allowed to apply on Paper again incase we don't receive AOR for online application for one more month ??

How is this even possible? It was 12 months just a week ago!
My theory is that actual processing time might not be 27 months for vast majority of applications, a small percentage of applications (maybe 5% to 10%) of total pool is skewing the average time. They will soon remove these from their calculations and again start claiming, "Oh look we have brought processing time down from 27 months to 18 months".

That is not how averages work.

Wait. Are you saying that averages are not affected by outliers?
There are also outliers on the short side, people who received citizenship with urgent processing! The short and the long ones will continue. The only way for the processing time to go down is if they actually process everything faster in general. You are just making up numbers.
