DCF in Tbilisi with my Ukrainian wife (exceptional circumstance)

I have read posts where applicants asked for passports back to travel. The consulate will request it when they’re ready to issue the visa. It might cause a small delay as opposed to if they already had it in possession.

Did you not relocate to the US?

Yes, I did relocate. I’ve started my new job, bought a car, etc. however, I don’t want to stay separate from my wife.
 

We want to plan a trip together in December, somewhere in Europe.

Thanks! We will plan a trip together for December, and if the dates are getting close without any visa being issued, we will probably request her passport back. My boss is really understanding of our situation luckily.

My wife is going to ask for her passport back on Friday, this will be 92 days since the interview. 
 

does anyone have any recommendations for wording of this request, to make sure it’s clear we are NOT withdrawing our application? I don’t trust the folks at us travel docs to manage the communication if it’s not explicit.
