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.

Soldiers may be considered for a compassionate action when they have extreme Family problems. The two types of Compassionate Requests are when personal problems are:
1. Temporary (resolvable within one year)
2. Not expected to be solved in one year
A compassionate action may be a request for reassignment, deletion, deferment or permissive attachment based on the soldier's circumstances.
Criteria and supporting documentation for Compassionate Actions are outlined in AR 614-200 Chapter 5.
Read the AR - go to page 41.
5–12. Supporting documentation
The following documentation will be included (as appropriate) with DA Form 3739.
a. Medical problems. A signed statement from the attending physician giving the specific medical diagnosis, prognosis of illness, and treatment plan. The statement will include date of onset, past and anticipated periods of hospitalization, period of convalescence, and anticipated life expectancy for terminal cases. The statement will list any other factors that establish the Soldier's presence as having a bearing on the medical condition. For cases involving reassignment from OCONUS location where medical care for Family members is not available, include documentation from appropriate medical authorities stating that fact (see para 5–15g).
b. Legal problems. A signed statement from a licensed attorney stating the problem and the reasons why solutions other than reassignment of the Soldier are unacceptable. If applicable, a copy of court order, divorce decree, or other pertinent legal documents will be submitted.
c. Rape or child abuse. Statements from police, social service agencies, and/or examining physicians.
d. Marital and dependent status. When cases involve reassignment of Soldiers to dependent-restricted tours, a statement by the Soldier, witnessed by an officer, will be included. It will specify that the Soldier has been advised that travel for dependents at Government expense is not authorized.
e. Other problems. Supporting statements from responsible persons (for example, clergymen, social workers, court clerks, American Red Cross personnel) who have personal knowledge of.
Read the reg, figure out everything you need to do. Rape is listed as something you can submit for. But realize that compassionate reassignments are only good for a year.
I did one for my daughter's medical problems; however, luckily they had a slot for me so I stayed 3 years and then another 10 months on a medical stabilization.
Oh and yes documentation as specific as possible from medical, etc, is necessary.
