I just got back from Ukraine and we were married 11/10 and filed DCF at the US embassy and approved 11/14. :) Interviews are <3 weeks afterwards and I could have her here by christmas. We are waiting because of couple of other things going on our lives, so she will not be in US unil mid january. But to answer your question, contact the embassy in Kyiv, they are very friendly and helpful. Contact them by e-mail, best way. http://kiev.usembassy.gov/visa_iv_petition_eng.html

You cannot convert your case but you can file DCF and abandon your current filing.

YMMV
