More details to this question:
We would move to the USA in the next weeks but if we start the process here in Italy for her legal status it could take up to 6 months.

It would be best, and more proper from an immigration standpoint, for you to do the steps while your wife is outside the USA. Have you filed any immigration documents for this process yet? If your wife is a citizen of Italy, and if she enters the US on her Italian passport (without a visa of any type, such as a B-2 visitor visa), and then if you file paperwork in the US, there are some risks involved. If you could provide some more information regarding whether or not you have started any immigration process to date, that would be helpful. Thank you.
