Compassionate reassignment

will I qualify for compassionate reassignment, my wife is European, she has psychological issues going on, our apartment in Europe was robbed and she was raped, currently she is also not eligible for a visa to the United States. What are my options?

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.

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.

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
