Was your wife charged with knowingly encouraging, inducing, assisting, abetting or aiding another foreign national to enter the U.S. in violation of U.S. immigration law? Did she have an issue with trying to help a foreign national enter the U.S. illegally?
If yes, this is generally known as alien smuggling and it is a very serious issue. This could be a lifetime bar for your wife for the U.S. unless she qualifies for a waiver.
This is a serious issue and your wife's specific facts regarding her visa denial and the basis for that denial need to be analyzed by an experienced immigration attorney. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney.
