NOA2 expired after a year...Can we apply again?

So my fiance and I had got our petition approved in February of 2019, and we both ended up having monetary issues and his mother got sick. This led to a rocky year with some fights, and to be honest, we weren't sure if we were going to make it. I was told that we had to continue forward with the application within a year or my fiance would get a message stating how to proceed as it would expire. Frankly, February came, we didn't get anything, didn't contact them like we should have and right when we were ready to commit 100% COVID hit and everything froze in April.

 

So...I guess I'm just wondering what we should do now. Should we anticipate applying again soon? We're ready to ASAP and have visited each other a couple times since we were approved and can provide updated pictures, tickets, etc. We've been in our long distance relationship for nearly 7 years and we really think it's time for this to officially come to a close. I'm able to continue on without a co-signer (which was an issue we were facing) and am doing relatively well financially as of now. Also, I know we have a ton of information so there's no way anyone could deny our relationship is real and has developed over the years. I guess I'm just scared that our late arrival to the party coupled with COVID will make it impossible for us to be approved again. Or am I overthinking it?

Usually k1 petition last for 4 months but can't be revalidated in 4 months intervals for upto a year...so logically your k1 expired sometime in February 2020. 

But these are not normal times...in a stroke of serendipity things might still be in your favor...I would advice get on the phone with NVC immediately and see what they can do for you guys...goodluck

I would suggest get married in London, file for CR1, then file K3( it makes your things to be looked at faster) or expedite your case( look for a reason, real or imagined); you will evade the AOS, ROC, get a green card immediately you get in the US.
