From the frame of reference of the photon, if the stated distance is 1k lightyears, the time of travel is 1k years. I think you've taken time-dilution to mean something that it doesn't. You're most likely asking me how many years in -our- frame of reference will that 1k years in the photons frame of reference be.
You stated that the distance was 1k lightyears, I can only go with what you've given me. If you want earths perspective (or to account for lensing or motion of the bodies) you'll have to set two concrete examples. Two actual bodies as observed from earth, and at a particular point in time as viewed from earth, not some question-in-a-vacuum. Otherwise, I couldn't say, because the variables are undefined.
