My wife's CR1 was approved in Abudhabi UAE, she is a filipino citizen and wanted to go back in the Philippines before she goes here in the US, my question is, is it ok for her to go back in the philippines for two weeks, since her visa was issued in UAE? and from there (Philippines) can she fly to the US without any problems? Pls help, ThankS!

I don't think you'll have a problem with her doing that. The visa is for her entry into the US, not her departure point.

It's not a problem where your wife enters the U.S. from. However, I agree, if she does seek to exit the Philippines with a pretty CR1 in her passport - she'll need a CFO sticker.

I agree with this. It won't be a problem to leave from Philippines but they may require her to do the CFO seminar since will be leaving from PH to activate the K1. If she leaves from UAE to enter the US she will not need to do the CFO.

and Congrats!
