If my soon-to-be wife is reserves and stationed in California, but I’m stationed in Virginia, can I request a PCS even though I haven’t served my time here yet?

Highly unlikely. What can be done, after reading they other responses, is to have your wife get with her reserve center retention office to do a search of reserves units....say within 1K miles...of your Virginia location that has open slots for her rank and MOS. If there are, she can submit for transfer. That would be the easier way to be together

The chances of you getting reassigned in CA. is next to zero. Early PCS has to come with an assignment and or a reason. Maybe a reenlistment option, or hardship. Being separated from your spouse, a condition created while you are under an obligation is highly unlikely.
It is great that you found the love of your life, you simply need to relook your priorities.

If your spouse is in the USAR she is not stationed in California. You are on Active Duty and you ARE stationed in VA. Your spouse can move anywhere she she chooses at her own cost, but you can only move where the Army stations you and the Army will pay you.
As an initial term Soldier you will generally not be eligible to move until you reenlist, 15 months from ETS. At that point your report date will be 6-12 months later
