I just submitted my DS-260 on CEAC via my approved I-140 petition. I don't see a Civil Documents column nor an option to upload the documents.
Will I be getting a letter at some point instructing me on how to send in the required documents to NVC? Or do I just have to do it proactively? The email confirmation I got just says they received my DS-260, and that everything will be reviewed together, but no instructions on when or how to send in the Civil Documents, or whether an online option will be made available at some point.
I was also told that I'd have to wait for a visa to become available, however, CEAC has already asked/accepted my payment and asked me to complete the DS-260. Does that mean my visa is available or almost available? I'm EB-1, but because I was born in Hong Kong, I wasn't sure if my PD would be with China or ROW because of the Trump Executive Order.
Does anyone with experience know what steps will follow?

You can't upload them, EB applicants have to send them via mail, you should have had instructions in your Welcome Letter (together with a document checklist)?

You're right. It wasn't really a "Welcome Letter" but rather a Fee Invoice - and yes, there was a checklist. Would that be it? 

Does that mean that my PD is current or almost current? 

I only ask because my attorney warned me I could be waiting for many months because I was born in Hong Kong and Trump issued an Executive Order a couple of years back requiring DOS to lump Hong Kong with Mainland China vs. ROW the way it was done before. Not sure if that applies to my case.

The fact that they're asking for my money and all these documents makes me think I might be coming up sooner than later?

Yes, that’s the Welcome Letter. You need to print the checklist and put it on the top of your documents when mailing your package. If you have an attorney then surely they’re advising you on all this? 
 

I’m afraid I’ve no idea which category you come under, but Chart B on the Visa Bulletin is what is relevant to you now - Chart A only becomes relevant when you’re DQ’ed and actually in line for an interview. And bear in mind with Canada’s lengthy interview wait it’ll be quite a wait either way. 
 

Good luck.
