I have recieved the IV bill and I864. I am waiting for our joint sponsor to send me his papers. Can i go ahead and pay the IV bill and then send the I864 later or does it all have to be sent in at the same time? Thanks

from what I am learning about process - yes you can, because those are two separate things
I-864 is for petitioner and the IV bill is covering DS-230 which is beneficiary's part of the process
the sooner you pay IV bill the sooner you get ds-230 generated

Yes, you can go ahead and pay the IV Bill. The IV Bill is processed seperately from the I864 so one is not dependent on the other.

if you send i864 it will depend on ds230 and generate that checklist (RFE)

but right paud your IV bill sooner you paid sooner it generate ds230.
