Shockwave,

There is always a risk of being turned away at the point of entry while a visa application is pending. People do get through (I did), but keep in mind there is absolutely no guarantee that your wife will be allowed through. Check out the link aussiewench posted for as much detail as you could possibly want.

JD,

Yes, if the CBP officer who inspects her when she asks to be admitted for the visit believes that she will stick to this plan.
