My I-130 was approved. I want to delay the process for the NVC stage, but I can't get a hold of them with telephone number ((603) 334-0700). Is it true if I log into their website using my case/id number , I can keep delaying the process for another year? Also, I will not pay the fees until my spouse and I are ready to move to the US.

1.  Don't pay the fees or submit documents.

2.  Periodically contact NVC (I would do this by email a couple times a year).

3.  Regularly check the CEAC status for updates.

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..

How long do you want to delay?

 

You have to make contact or take action on your case (upload a document, pay a fee) once a year to keep your case open. 
 

I delayed my NVC process by 9 months and it was no issue.

Thank you. Silly question, do I have to tell them why I want to delay my case or can I just keep it simple by just writing that I just want to delay my case without any explanation?

I would just use a generic reason like "Family matters" or "Business matters"....I would keep it simple.
