The FIRST NAME is a mandatory field to be filled up, so instead of send_keys(Keys.RETURN) try to send some text as follows along with the expected_condition as element_to_be_clickable :

ui.WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='billFirstName']")))
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='billFirstName']").click()
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='billFirstName']").clear()
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='billFirstName']").send_keys("user_first_name")
