Hi,
I will be PCSing to Camp Humphreys, South Korea, next year. I will be submitting a command sponsor to take my family with me. We know that a command sponsor is not guaranteed. But let's say it is approved. Does my wife have to PCS with me when I leave to report? The reason why I'm asking is that she needs a few extra weeks to finish her master’s. Can she come to Korea later date than my report date? I have checked AR 614-30 but can't find anything.

What you're asking about is called non-concurrent travel. You have to request it with your levy process. This will allow your spouse to stay where she is and draw BAH until she travels to your location. If you don't request non-concurrent travel, your BAH ends the moment you fly out and your spouse is no longer eligible to stay in on post housing if you currently live there

Your wife does not have to go with you right away but as SFC Livingston said you need to talk to the levy personnel and let them know the plan so you're able to get her tickets paid for. Generally within 30 days of reporting she can arrive without changing the command sponsorship.

When do you have your Levy Brief? Ask this question at that time since they will best be able to answer
