Hi guys.Just recently I paid the AOS and IV fee online. Fees are currently 88$ for AOS and 404$ for IV package. When i paid AOS fee it took only 3 days to take money from my account and to show online status PAID. IV fee shows it is in progress but i assume that another 3 days until its processed. Once the IV bill shows in status PAID then i can mail to the NVC my DS 230 form and I 864 with supporting documents.

My question is. Do i have to wait for NVC to mail forms with the instructions once the both bills show in status PAID? Can i just download them from USCIS web site and mail overnight? Whats the difference between I864 and I864ez. What form i am supposed to mail? I make enough income to be qualified as sponsor for my wife and have steady job. Little help will be appreciated!!

You don't have to wait for the NVC, as soon as your payments show paid, download the cover sheets put your packages together and send them in.

You are supposed to fill the AOS (form I864 or I864ez) and the DS230 with all the supporting documents.

I-864EZ can be used if you are only using income AND the only person you are sponsoring is your spouse. I-864 is when assets are used and there is more than one person being sponsored.
