QUESTION
What will we have to do to prove we "still qualify?" I have not been able to travel there for 2 years.

More details to this question:
The national visa center is holding our application for my Fiancee to come to the U.S. Every 60 days they send this message: Approved Forms I-129F have a 120-day expiration date from the date of approval by USCIS. Once your designated embassy or consulate resumes normal operations, a consular officer will revalidate your petition for another 120 days. You do not need to take any action for this revalidation to happen, though you may need to provide evidence that you still qualify for the K-1 nonimmigrant visa. For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General's operating status, visit their website at https://usembassy.gov.

OK so technically because of Covid and the long delays resulting from that, those messages about being valid for 120 days are essentially a generic response that goes out to all fiancée visa sponsors and applicants. The general policy is that they will not require any update By the couple prior to the expiration, and this seems to be a policy that is in effect for all K-1 visa sponsors and applicants. But to confirm whether that policy is in fact accurate, I would contact the national Visa Center directly. You can contact them at 603-334-0700. They are open every weekday until midnight, and they can provide a response to your question.
