Does anyone know the current wait time for a K1 applicant in Manila?

In trying to see about cancelling, if it is even necessary to cancel the previous K1 application I am running into a lot of frustration. 1) The previous K1 applications original expiration was in March of 2020, 2 years and 5 months ago. I have read that it is only extended for a year. But others advice that I still need to cancel it. Does anyone know the facts? 2) All I have is the Receipt Number and the 9 digit A number from the NOA2, I never had the case number beginning with MNL, does someone know how I would obtain that? I have sent emails from other advice only to get them bounced back. How do I follow up on this without losing my mind.

I need to clarify, I live in the Philippines (via tourist visa extensions), I returned in March 2022. I live with my girl friend in the Philippines. The true purpose of the B2 visa is so she can accompany me when I go to the US for vacation and/or visit family there. I am a naturally born citizen of the U.S. I do not want to live in the US at this time. A K1 for my girl friend at this time is a waste because I do not want to live in the US for the time period required. I just want to be able to visit 3 to 4 weeks at a time every 1 1/2 to 3 years. But I very much want her by my side when I visit. The intention is Not trying to do an end run around the process, a K1 would actually be easier if marriage was the purpose. A K1 is not appropriate because the intention is Not to stay. B2 is appropriate because the intention is truly to visit.

We do not want to do a K1 visa at this time, but I would like to take my girl friend to the US for vacation from time to time. I noticed there is about a 400 day wait for B2 visas. Trying to get a handle on the chances of obtaining the visa and how to present the case best for successfully obtain the B2. She has a daughter and about a hectare and a half in her name and a older house on it that was her parents. She has worked in Taiwan between 2019 and 2022. She also has a townhouse in her name through Pag-Ibig that has been assumed by another but remains in her name at this time. But really no money in the bank. I would be paying all expenses, so there is not a financing issue, but worry about how CIS would look at this. She is not working at this time, but possibly could be by the time the 400 days for the B2 interview would come up. I know a sponsor is not required, but I am thinking what is going on with financing may be of concern as well as reason for vacations in the US. Would it be best to explain our relationship as the primary reason? My background could be a further complication. I have a previous NOA2 for my ex fiancée that the original expiration date was March of 2020. The pandemic kept me and my ex separated as I got stuck in the US during that period and there was no way to repair the relationship upon my return. I am concerned as to the true status of the NOA2 from the previous relationship, as I have read conflicting information, some saying it is cancelled at expiration date, and others saying it will be extended automatically. Could it possibly be automatically extended from March of 2020 until now? Or would it be cancelled by this time? I know this is confusing, but really need help on how to best handle the B2 for now, as well as how to handle the NOA2 from previous relationship should sometime in the future wish to pursue a K1.
