After the Review page it takes you to the payment page: https://www.uscis.gov/file-online/tips-for-filing-forms-online

Step 6: Pay the filing fee.

• You must pay with a valid credit or debit card, or provide your bank routing and checking account numbers to have money taken directly from your U.S. bank account.
• After you make your payment, your form will be submitted.
• You will receive a receipt notice that contains your receipt number. This is a unique number that applies to your specific case with USCIS. You can find your receipt number on your online account home page, and you can find a copy of your receipt notice under the Documents tab.

It's not a separate form. The same N-400 takes you to the payment page (processed by the Department of the Treasury).

Yes, but I don't know much about the online filing platform since we hired a lawyer to get the CR1 visa. So I just wanted to know more about all this beforehand. 

Very easy to file this online.  The N400 requires little required evidence, but the evidence you need to bring to the interview is a bit more.  One caution about filing online, don’t submit it minutes after your 90 day window opens up, the computer clocks sometime mess up the filing date and it can look like you filed a day early which will result in a major headache.

You don't need to bring anything to the interview if you have uploaded it instead (other than the obvious originals such as passports, greencard etc). They also prefer less papers, so uploading is highly recommended. That also gives them a chance to look through all your documents before the actual interview and the chances for an approval on the spot are bigger than if they have to go through a pile of documents after the interview before they can make a decision.

I tend to agree, but I have heard stories that some folks were asked for the information required at the interview even though they had uploaded it, so YMMV.  In my wife’s case, she filed on paper with only the required evidence, and took everything to the interview, the IO did not ask to see any of it.

Thank you.

 

And yes, I've seen people talking about that here, so I decided to wait for a few more days before filing.

Makes sense, thank you.

I will keep that in mind, thank you
