I864

[Maryland 13]

Hey all. I want to attemp to fill out the i864: AOS, My self. Please advise. 

For those of you who have done it was it hard to do alone? Also if I was self employed how would I go out doing that with the i864? I have a joint sponsor what will I need from him? I know there are guides here on the nvc part but can some one please list them down below in order what I need to do I'm very confused! I know the first step is I have to assign agent then pay the aos bill. What comes next? Thank you all in advance
