No such element error

Hi I'm using cucumber and selenium version 3 with java, I'm trying to fill-up a sign-up sheet in a test website but I keep getting:

at ?.When I fill in all the needed details(D:/vaneza_workspace/practiceexercises/src/test/java/testcases.feature:9)

not only that but every time I run the test, there are two chrome windows that shows up. One with the test that I am doing and the other one just empty. Can someone help me with this case?

This is my code:

The reason could the element is not yet loaded, so try putting some delay using Thread.sleep()  or use explicit wait.
