    You can start the relative petition process for her as the spouse of an LPR, filing the I-130 creates a priority date for her. This is her place in line for the preference petition, but it is a second preference, first sub-preference (FB-2A). Check the DOS visa bulletin Visa Bulletin for April 2009 , but it is at August 2004 for most countries, so backlogged about 5 years.

    During the time you are waiting for her PD to come current, she doesn't get an EAD to work, so she must continue her F-1. NB, filing the I-130 may negatively affect extension of her F-1 student status or issuance of the F-1 visa.

    Consult with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss the timing of the filing and her NIV status. I trust this is responsive to your inquiry.
