You might have to contact me with more info but here goes. Your wife got caught in a catch -22. She could not adjust here if she entered without a visa and if you filed the I-130 after 04/30/2001. If she was in the U.S. more than 6 months out of status, or undocumented she has to go to Cd. Juarez for the visa interview. Once she leaves the U.S. the 3-10 year bar kicks in, basically she imposed the bar herself by leaving the U.S. The I-601 is a waiver that can grant relief to her bar, but you have to prove an EXTREME HARDSHIP to yourself and any children you and your wife may have. You have to state your hardships in a sworn affidavit and submit it with the I-601. Emotional and financial hardship alone is not usually sufficient to approve the waiver. I-601 should have been submitted to the consulate at the time of interview or you should have been advised to return it to the consulate immigration section. I-601's are taking about 9-18 months for processing due to a backlog of these applications.
