According to the NVC website, civil documents need to be submitted to the NVC. Here is the link. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html

He may get instructions on how to do it when they reply to the DS-260 im not exactly sure

Have you read or visited the NVC filers Oct 2013 thread? I would advice you check it out asap. The answer (s) to your questions can be found there(sorry I'm on a mobile so can't give u the link).

But to answer your question in the nutshell, NVC 'intakes' required civil docs and forwards it to the embassies/consulates. However, there are embassy specific requirements for civil documents that's why I urge you to go read that thread or visit the nvc website (CEAC.gov site).

Also, even though NVC will take your original documents, it is a great idea to have set copies of all your documents on hand to bring to the interview just in case. It is also good to visit the regional forum here on this site so you know whatexactly others going through the Islamabad consulate are doing. GL!
