The sentence regarding the labor certificate.  That indicated to me that it is not a fiancee petition 

YMMV

Then I would start by using the London contact form https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/iv-contact_form/

 

Say something like—

Due to suspension of K1 interviews in London, I have been unable to schedule an interview. Now I have been informed by the US Department of State that... (copy what they said). Contrary to what the State Department says, I was not contacted about this previously and have regularly followed everything on the the London embassy’s Covid-19 page. I wish to assure you that my fiancé and I remain free to marry and intend to marry within 90 days of my entry into the US on a K1 Visa. Please advise if you need that in writing from my fiancé. And please advise if you have thrown out my case or if I should continue to follow London updates which say to wait until the embassy resumes processing.

 

Then hold your breath that they respond to you within a short time with some answers. 
 

An issue they might have is that why didn’t you get on with it in December 2019, months before any lockdowns or visa suspensions occurred. You might want to address that in the contact form you submit. What date did you submit the DS-160 which is your visa application? 
 

 

Thank you. I will contact them and ask.

Do you think that might be a one-size-fits-all statement?  

It is the government so anything is possible

This is what they replied.

Thank you @Wuozopo for your help.

 

Thank you for your email.  

  

Based on the information you have provided, you may revalidate the petition with a letter from the petitioner stating that you both remain legally free to marry and that you will do so within 90 days of your arrival in the United States.  


You should take the letter with you to your visa interview once our visa services have resumed in full.
