Is this grammatically correct?: However, because of availability, we ask that you be able to come within 30 days. Is the "you be" part of sentence correct?

Yes, but you could even take it out and say: "However, because of availability, we ask that you come within 30 days."

Actually the grammatically incorrect part isn't the "you be" part. The sentence should read as follows: However because of availablility, we ask that you be able to come within 30 days. The comma belongs after availability. If you want a more clean-cut professional answer, remove the "be able" and word it like this: However because of availability, we ask that you come within 30 days.

No, the sentence is not grammatically correct. A grammatically correct version is given below.

"However, because of availability, we ask that you come within 30 days."

I would just say, "However, we ask that you be available to come within 30 days."

Neither. because of the fact the word - this is no longer a sentence - is asserting *how* she speaks and writes, it needs the adverb type "properly" "a woman who speaks and writes grammatically properly". notwithstanding, this is monstrously unidiomatic. it may be greater valuable to rephrase it in a fashion that facilitates you to apply the adjective type: "a woman who speaks and writes grammatically acceptable suited English" "a woman whose speech and writing is grammatically acceptable suited"

yes. "we ask that you be able to..." is perfectly correct.

(or you could just say "we ask that you come within 30 days")

Yes, it just dosen't sound like it because it is a very formal expression and hardly anyone uses it.
