Can NVC cancel our application?

[Jess_Cah 7]

Does anyone know how long a case can sit at NVC? Backstory - we submitted all of our paperwork last March(2020) and NVC came back that we needed to fix a couple of thing in June. Covid hit and we decided to slow down our process. Its been almost a year and we're thinking we should start to send paperwork in so our case doesn't get denied from inactivity. Does anyone know if that can happen and if theres a time limit?

My understanding is that they keep the case alive one year from the last time they contacted you. 
 

So you have until June because they contacted you asking to fix a few things last June. 
 

But I’d let others chime in.

If you look at the email the NVC originally sent you, you should have your answer.

 

IMPORTANT: If you do not log into CEAC or communicate with NVC regarding this immigrant visa case for a period of one year, by law the Department of State must terminate your visa application.

Just log into them and the application will keep active for another year. Simple. No need to cancel
