What is the name of your state? NC

My wife has left and moved overseas permanently...
is there a way that I can expedite a divorce, or perhaps an annullment without having to wait a year from date of separation?

Thanks

No. In North Carolina, an absolute divorce may be granted on one of two grounds: one year's separation pursuant and incurable insanity. Obtaining a divorce based on incurable insanity requires a minimum three-year separation and also requires that evidence be given by specified experts as to the spouse's insanity. You'll have to wait the year.
