R-1 meaning "Religious Visa" correct? That means she already has a job in the U.S. correct? It should be fine! She has proof of her working in the U.S.. I know someone who has been on an R-1 visa for awhile, and he constantly goes across the border. The only way he wasn't allowed to was when he was filing for AOS and at a certain point he wasn't allowed to leave the country. You should be fine, but always triple check! :)

As long as stamp for visa is valid, you can go and come back to US. R-1 visa holder can apply for GC after 2-years of that visa. Your spouse can apply for R-2 visa but will not be able to work here.
