Awesome! Finally! This is the best outcome for you.

Well, This is great news!!!  I guess we are going back to Cyprus!!!!     We are contacting to inform you that we have received the file from NVC and are ready to proceed with your immigrant visa.  Please follow the instructions in the link below to gather and submit your documents to the U.S. Embassy, Nicosia, Cyprus.   https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/affidavit-of-support.html

Sorry for the spelling mistake in the last response. Talking on the phone and writing, The email did say they sent it to two departments. Hopefully they will do something but I am not getting my hopes up. We fly to the U.S August 21 using U4U.

On the forms you mark UNK ( unknown) and submit copy of NVC email correspondence. I again point out , for the sake of expediency it’s worth filing a new I-130 anyway.
Once you get in prepare I-485 , either copy of previous pending I-130 case number or new I-130, I-765, I-131, I-864 and have her do a medical for I-693.
 
Within approx a week you will have Notice of receipts for all and she will get a biometrics ASC appointment In about a month. 
If grandfathers health takes a turn for the worst, she can call in an expedite request for the AP ..but I would expect it to be approved 4 months after filing even without it.

I am the USC and my wife the beneficiary. Both clean criminal records. She has already sent her police certificates to the embassy.  We already have travel authorization under U4U so we can fly tomorrow. 

We will travel to the US under Uniting Ukraine. We got travel authorization today. Then wait for the CR1. I think it will take a month or so when the I-130 is approved. We waited 15+ months already I hate to throw that away. 
 
Also, Since we were approved for Uniting for Ukraine do you think the Embassy will approve a travel Visa? We have an appointment on august 8 in Cyprus. 

Nope, I have never been arrested in any country. Someone with a similar name must have flagged my petition.

They let me send them in and we completed a DS-260. The visa status checker says the case is ready lol. I don't even think they were supposed to take those documents in but they did via email. They don't have a workload so it would not take long for the rest of the process. 

We just filled out the biometrics for Uniting for Ukraine. We are now just waiting on a travel date. Do we still have to abandon the I-130?

There are a few things that concern me.
1.)The embassy did not request my fingerprints which according to the field manual is they need to invite me back to the embassy to complete.
2. It appears the physical petition was never received by the USCIS. We have been living on Cyprus.
 
We have a rented villa and have bank accounts on cyprus.  I need to visit America for two months for business so we are attempting again for a tourist visa but, I doubt we will receive it. I will bring her back to Ukraine to stay with her family if we are denied the tourist visa. This process have been a nightmare. 

GOOD NEW I-130 WAS APPROVED!!!
I was able to speak with the Consular from the embassy who conducted our interview today. He told me that the I-130 was approved and it was sent to USCIS to give the embassy a green light to proceed. It seems like the DCF is like this now. 

O yea!!! We have all of the documents  translated and printed out along with my 2021 taxes the I-864 and financial documents. I completed the DS-260 also.

We even were able to get the police certificate today from Ukraine showing no criminal record. Im wondering why it even went down the USCIS pipeline. The NVC or USCIS does not have the petition I called both of them. 

I filled out the timeline. 

We only filed the I-130 at the embassy on march 24,2022. We were both interviewed at the interview.
They told me two times it was under administrative processing with the USCIS. 
 
This was the email they sent me when I asked what the process was before attending the i-130 filing. 
 
Both petitioner and beneficiary must appear in person for the I-130 Petition filing, the interview will be conducted by a US consular officer. During the interview the I-130 Petition fee must be paid and petitioner will submit all required documents and completed forms.
 
If the officer approves the Petition, beneficiary will be given instructions for the second step and there will be additional administrative processing.  We cannot give a timeframe of how long the processing will take.
 
Note: the beneficiary must be able to remain in the Republic of Cyprus for the duration of time it takes to process the immigrant visa application.

My wife and I filed the I-130 at the embassy in Nicosia, Cyprus on March 24,2022. How could this be a USCIS filing? The beginning of the case number is NCS. 

https://id.gov.ua/diiaid-auth This is where Ukrainians can get a police certificate using the diia app. My wife just get her police certificate. 

It has been over 3 weeks since we filled the I-130. The consular said it would take 2-3 weeks for it to be processed. I emailed the embassy for a follow up and they responded stating they could not give me a timeframe on when it will be processed. 

Yea, I have a home in America. I only leave the country for 1-2 months then return to America. I did unknowingly commit a small crime in Ukraine and had to pay 1700 UAH ($60) but I got to renew and keep my Ukrainian residency. Both the lawyers I consulted with told me it was legal to send collectable AK47 magazines to myself in the USA from Ukraine but they were wrong.  CBP scanned those documents when I was in secondary in Houston after spending 9 months in Ukraine and asked me a few questions. I was stopped because I had 12 bottles of champagne and 6 bottles of vodka.
