If you would check USCIS processing times, you would see that 12 months is nothing out of the ordinary. These processes take time. It may take longer in your case because of background checks, but there is no way to tell yet.
 
It is not a "delay" as the title of this thread suggests. Just be patient and wait it out. Ombudsman, filing WoM, etc, will not help your case. It has only been 12 months. Relax.

good news, turned out the card was in post but not checked by the lawyer staff.
 

Hi
I wanted to write yes as an answer, but I remember checking in this same website and other immigration websites that a K-1 petition is not an immigration visa and the answer should be No. Check:

Can I withdraw the application and file later on with a corrected DS-160?
