Please check the Flowchart to see where you are in the process and all the next steps. It outlines the process very nicely. Congratulations!

Have you read the guides? They will be very beneficial going through this process.

They will forward your petition on to NVC. I would encourage you to be proactive and start gathering the necessary documents needed for the next stage. Search the site and learn all you can about the visa process to prevent unnecessary hiccups along the way. I was a bit naive starting out but thankfully I found this site early on and everything went smoothly.

Start gathering documents for NVC.  Check the nvc website and see what documents are needed for an interview in Jamaica at that stage.

Some of the previous links you were given either don't give specific information or were wrong.  This is what you need to read through as it is the most comprehensive:  http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php?title=NVC_Process

Yes, I think you need the birth certificates. I thought I sent copies of my husband’s but the website says original or certified. I’ll check my package to see what exactly I submitted and get back to you on that. See #5 on the list for pre-interview, if you can see the attached pic.

You can also look on the Dept of State website, which says copies.

Click on supporting docs at the bottom of page to see what you will have to submit.

Ignore #1 and #2; those are obsolete forms.
