Will our petition be terminated? It has been a year, what do we do?

[BlueberryMuffin 2]

My fiance (beneficiary) received their NVC letter on Jan. 21st, 2020, and embassy letter on Feb. 6th, 2020. Due to COVID shutdowns, he has been unable to schedule an appointment, and now we're coming up on a year. On the NVC website, it says, "Secretary of State shall terminate the registration (petition) of any alien who fails to apply for an immigrant visa within one year of notice of visa availability" but I'm confused about if this applies to K1's since they are non-immigrant visas that are treated like immigrant visas.

 

I just want to know if our petition will be terminated because we've been unable to move forward at all for a year. Any instructions on what to do now so our petition isn't terminated would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I'm so anxious.

Did you submit your DS-160? That is your visa application. Also contact the embassy directly using this form.

There are thousands of filers in the exact same situation as yourself. Many are filers from mid 2019. 

 

For reasons beyond your control, you are unable to schedule an interview at this time. Because of this, your case will automatically be extended indefinitely until the embassy starts processing cases again.
