Ummm, please ignore the guy above me. Though someone married to a US Citizen has more leverage, she would've needed to apply for a K visa for that to be true. Since she didn't, she's out of status and won't be allowed to get a SSN. Her best bet is to leave and re-enter on a visa.

Listen buddy, it's no problem. If an immigrant marries a U.S. citizen, then they are granted citizenship as well. No need for visa when you get the full thing. Go to a local court and speak to who ever about making your wife a citizen. As long as the marriage occurred in the U.S. you should have no problem.
