Your options are extremely limited until your wife is eligible for a visa.
Compassionate reassignment based on the medical care needs of a dependent are based on where those services can be provided. If they can be provided where you are stationed now, there would be no compassionate reassignment.

You should also talk to your chain of command now about getting priority for on post housing.
And you also need to consider that when you do move CONUS, you are moving her 5000 miles away from her family, that will be another impact you'll both need to deal with.

I live CONUS now we live separately right now because she's ineligible to come to the states thats why I was curious about the compassionate reassignment, she is from and lives in Germany so I was hoping to get somewhere closer to help her out with everything.

PFC (Join to see) - You may be eligible for compassionate reassignment, but if she will be eligible for a visa in a few months, then a transfer to Germany is not likely.
I would start with looking into what it would take to expedite that visa.

Get documentation, the more "official" the better of everything that is going on with your situation. You will need assistance from every level of your chain of command, so begin there.
I've been out of the military far too long to offer much more than that.

not to be too nosey but why is your wife not eligible to come to the US? My son got his fiancé in on a 90 day visa with no problems. I would think that getting a wife in would be easier than a fiancé
