I know that K1 visas can be expedited because of military deployments. Is it possible to petition an expedite because of basic training? 

 

My fiancée and I have been waiting for a month now, going on two. I will be shipping out to basic training on January 15, 2018.

I highly doubt it.  If your basic training is inside the US (as was mine), simply delay your fiance's entry into the US until after basic is finished.....

If I were you I'd try for the expedite. It can't hurt anything, and to me it seems like a legitimate reason. I know I've read about military being expedited because of the possibility of deployment. So it won't hurt to try.
