Just paid the AOS fee & Immigrant visa fee online. On the receipt says now I can start to fill out I-864Z & send with receipt cover letter that was provided after I paid the fee. My understanding was NVC will send information what to do next once I pay the fee. Should I wait or follow direction on receipt paper & send I-864Z with cover sheet?

Don't wait for anything to be sent to you. Fill out whatever you can, print off the cover sheet and send away. (Also I assume you mean the I-1864EZ not Z . You can use it if you're meet the requirements...)

Also the beneficiary can hopefully now fill out the DS-230 (if they haven't already) so that can be sent away with it's cover sheet as well. :D *cheers*

You are behind schedule, my friend. You should have already had the AOS & IV forms filled out and ready to be mailed tomorrow. If you have your packets ready, print out the barcoded cover sheet and send the packets in. If you don't have them ready, get the filled out asap and send them in. Unless, of course, you AREN'T in a rush to get your loved one here. Then, by all means, take your time!

Thanks everyone. I just received email from NVC last night to pay AOS fee & immigrant visa fee. I paid them as soon as I got the e-mail that I was waiting for so long. My payment still showing in process not paid. My lawyer advising me to wait until it shows paid. Should I wait or send AOS documents with bar coded cover sheet? I have all paperwork ready. My approval took longer than usual. I have been waiting for long time. Want to do everything correctly. I just spent 1 month vacation with my wife. I was expecting her to be here with me by now but it's taking longer than usual. That made me to make a trip to spend some time with my wife.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
