I feel like this has been answered before, but I couldn't seem to come up with the right search terms.

THE INFO: I'm a USC, living abroad together with my wife continuously since we were married 3.5 years ago. I filed for for an IR1 visa as a USC living abroad, and we have always presented as living together. Visa process is almost complete... NVC is CC, we're expecting an interview date any day now for 1st week in January.

THE QUESTION: If I accept a job offer in the US that starts earlier, will my wife have any problems going to the interview alone if I move back to the US in mid-December, before the interview?

Not at all; in fact, it may help because you will have a US based income, and are clearly returning to the USA, and not staying abroad while sending your wife to the USA.

They will be expecting you to take concrete steps to establish domicile on the USA and to provide a home and financial stability for your wife. They will actually be pleased to see you have done that.
