I notice some fuse maker given voltage rating beside current rating
like 1 amp 250 volt & 1 amp 1000 volt, it make no diffrent on the
voltage as long any current reach more than 1 amp fuse will burn.
My explaination is correct ?

What good would the fuse be if the 1000 volts were to arc across the open
fuse?
