invisibleman

so i'm the Principal Applicant and my wife is the petitioner?

On the nvc website where you can log in to make payment it asks

Select one of the following roles that best describes your relationship to the case: Principal Applicant, Attorney, Petitioner, or Third-party Agent.

1. Can anyone explain what each of these are? I am the beneficiary living in the UK and my wife is the USC who is petitioning. So whats the rest?

2. Am i allowed to log in to view the payments? if so which dropdown do i even choose?

Any help much appreciated

Wooo my wife and I are approved yessssssssssssssssssss
