Would a Interstate transfer be possible?

My wife is National guard for West Virginia, but I’m currently stationed in Georgia, making her drill over 500 miles away. Her unit while be going on a training deployment and mobilizing in December (she does not have orders, but is on a DMD), which we were entirely fine with until another problem presented itself. A fellow soldier started harassing her to the point where she fears for her own safety being stuck around him. The is an open investigation so I’m unable to disclose the details, but it will be closed soon. In the meantime, we started looking into interstate transfers to resolve the problem at the unit, and to make drill more convenient. We have talked to her unit and they were against the transfer saying it was impossible due to the future deployment, but after I sat down with the CO and 1SG, they said that they would sign off on the transfer. I’ve also contacted the state IST coordinator for West Virginia, and informed him of everything going on, and he said that the transfer should still be possible. I’ve contacted a guard recruiter here in Augusta, and have found multiple units with open slots for her MOS. She’s a 25U so it’s very easy to find gaining units. She did not receive a bonus and was just issued TA50 last week so clearing CIF would not be hard. I have my command team working with me to try and help with the transfer and the investigation, because her unit did not want to handle it appropriately, thought a commanders inquiry would be fine, even though she requested to file a formal complaint. The IST coordinator and I both think there should be no issue with the transfer, but her unit keeps discouraging her and saying “the state will deny it” and “the process takes a year”. I was just wanting to get some advice/opinions on the situation from people that may have experience with either case or who may be able to give advice. Thank you.
