Spouse Traveling during NVC processing

I am currently filing a petition for an IR-1 for my foerign wife so that we can move to the US this year. We have been living in Argentina for the last 4 years (3 years as a married couple), and I am getting on a plane to start the move in exactly 2 weeks. My wife however, is still in the process of getting her Immigrant Visa approved, and was recently moved into NVC processing (our I-130 was approved on the 11th of Feb).

Looking at the forum and the various threads, the amouont of time that it takes to go from I-130 Approved to Interview Date is around 4 months (obviously depending on the availability of interviews at the Embassy in Buenos Aires). Using this calculation she will hopefully be getting invited to an interview in the beginning of June. We were hoping too fly her into the states to visit for 3 weeks to a month in April so that she can celebrate Easter with my family, and also attend my sisters baby shower.

The question for all of you forum members is the following then:

Should we expect additional enquiries at the Airport when she arrives in April (will it pop-up on their computer that she is currently in immigrant visa proceeding)? What documents should she bring to prove the short-term nature of her trip (we are thinking, invitation to sisters baby shower, signed document from employer that she is currently working and is taking a vacation)? Is there any chance that the NVC process will be quick then expected, and she will need to be back in Argentina for the interview earlier?

Appreciate any help or advice you might have to offer. Apologize to the administrators if this should be in a different sub-forum.

Hi I visited the usa last december while my I 130 at NVC. I guess nvc will start to issue visa numbers on coming july(not sure). As long as if your wife can prove that she will be rerun home from another 3 weeks then no worries. B cos I showed my return ticket and I told them that I came to see my husband on my vacation.
