Hi. I am an american citizen married to a jamaican man. we filed for his children in january. now they will go to the interview in early october. So my advise, is one: you have to have the mother cooperate in order to be approved for the child to leave the country. Me and my husbend kissed her butt and had to pay for her to travel and blah blah blah even though they live with his sister and she don't even take care of them but we knew we NEEDED her. So two: the process is so costly and so time consuming you and your family need to decide either you want to petition for the child to visit or to come permanently. I think you should petition for permanent residence which is what i did because in general there is so much more opportunity in america. In short, suck up to baby mama, forget the tourist visa and get busy on the I-130 petition for alien relative. Hope it works out.

They do take pictures, a lot of personal belongings have been destroyed in the hurricanes, including pictures. Either he chose not to take pictures, or their mother took pictures. Also, school pictures are taken. Ask their mom for pictures, you will probably have to take them to be printed, or copied.
It is subjective what he will be asked to do. There is a recent consulate interview about DNA, and a recent thread in the Jamaican portal about DNA.
