A K-1 cannot be delayed at the NVC stage.  That is one disadvantage to the K-1 route.  The only way, to my knowledge, is to delay the medical exam and scheduling an interview.  However, attempting to do that could cause the Consulate to allow the I-129f to expire.

By delay do you mean by weeks? months? or years?

That just isn't possible.  I-129fs expire after 4 months.  On the other hand, a CR-1 case can be delayed ta NVC for years.

Thanks for the info ! so if i start within 4 months is safe to do ? like our case approved on end of November 2023, can we start next stage before end of Feb or March?

You can ask for an extension when the petition gets to the Consulate and your  first 4 months is about to expire.  The Consulate can extend in 4 mo increments up to one year but they are not obligated to.
