your case will be sent to department of state that’s the nvc. I get my welcome letter in 3 days after approval where I get login info where I log in pay my 325 and 125. after that it update to paid I start to upload 1864 form and 3 last year transcript and last w-2 . I will see list stuff they asked for. if he was 16 I will need police certificate but just his passport and birth certificate. those pictures and stuff prove that must take with interview with him
