As you have the I-797C receipt notice, you are able to use that to file an I-485 adjustment of status application to permanent residence for your wife at this time if you are a US citizen and she entered the country legally. You would attach a copy of the I-797C receipt in the I 485 filing to show that the I-130 petition is pending. U.S.C.I.S. will process the I-485 and usually link the 130 petition with the I-485 filing in time for the interview.
