That is a standard note. So if they hand you the sheet and they mark needing more evidence like a tranlated birth certificate and you should up 2 years later you are out of luck.

That letter basically just means they can only keep your application open for a year before they have to cancel it. If your priority date doesn't become current within a year then the visa application is cancelled, and you'll have to file a new visa application (along with the fees) when your priority date finally becomes current. You don't have to take any action in the meantime.
