My partner arrived in the US using a K1 visa on 3/18/2020. We got married soon after and filed our Adjustment of Status packet within 90 days of his arrival. We received our NOA 1 on June 18, 2020, but we have not yet received information regarding his biometrics appointment. I'm assuming this is because of Covid-19 delays, but I'm worried we're missing something. Are others experiencing delays with their biometrics appointment? Thank you!

I think it is just the "normal"  delay  as of now.  The important thing is that you have the NAO1 for the I-485.  I have seen other people with the same concern.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Considering ASCs were closed for about 5 months there is a considerable backlog 

YMMV

You are not missing anything. Application support centers (where you obtain the biometrics) have been closed and some have onLy just reopened up in July. They will have a backlog of all those cancelled appointments since March as well as new ones. For example our cousins appt got cancelled the 3rd week of March due to a Covid and they haven’t yet been rescheduled.

 

Just stay patient and you will eventually receive the notification for your appointment.
