The era in which people who overstayed and subsequently traveled on an approved advance parole were being denied entry upon returning are gone. There was a rule change in 2012 that stopped that policy after a case at the Board of Immigration Appeals. I remember very clearly because it happened not long after my adjustment of status.
 
 
When attorneys say do not travel on AP if you had a previous overstay, it’s out of an over abundance of caution and the fact that it takes some people a long time to adapt to a new way of thinking/doing things. If you need to travel, do it unless you have some other red flags on your profile like criminality, fraud etc.

You’re just giving your opinion which I have proved wrong with legal reference. You didn’t even know that one can stay in the USA for 10 months (even 12) straight legally and that there exists a one year initial admission.
 
I provided my references not opinion, not interested in a game of one upping. The OP is free to choose whether to believe opinion or facts.

Yes it is possible. You are receiving inaccurate information. Your wife can receive initial entry for one year (it happens but not very usual) or an initial six months and file an extension before the six months expires.

Permissible activities for a B2 visa include tourism or to visit family and friends. The  question is whether the consular officer and immigration officer will interpret what your wife is coming for (accompany your daughter and provide parental care for her while in school) as work, in which case it would be prohibited.
 
In my opinion you have little to lose (approximately $160 in application fees) by her applying and your spouse making clear to the consular officer her intentions. There are visa/immigration officers who will have no issue with the plan.

Extension is NOT guarantee and you actually need a proper reason for it, like emergency. 
 
What do you think USCIS will do if wife will ask for extension so she can just live in the US longer? In her b2 Visa? They will cancel her visa at that very moment. 
 
Wife will not get one year entry. 6 months is a max. She does not have any special circumstances. She doesnt even plan to use her b2 Visa as a tourist which already is bad. Your post might be more harmful than anything.

Thank you, Im taking it serious and currently in selection phase of choosing a competent attorney.  Also, not worried about deportation if we cant get it appealed and approved.. being happy is a mindset not the geographical borders.  

Um ok did u even read or understand the OP question????? Obviously not ad the op is not living here anymore!! Wow some ppl r so quick to judge:/
 
Did your friend overstay? I doubt an overstay in the USA would effect a spousal visa in Australia. And tjis isn't fraud....i think u r confusing 2 different things here! He may have a 3/10 year ban but u need to find out how long he was in the USA before he left. 

I see another issue here. You want her to stay here and adjust status and then leave that poor man and come to you. I would be very uncomfortable with any person who can do this to another person. It just shows how mean and selfish she and/or you are. The best way to do it is to divorce and let that poor man off the hook. She should go back and then you can file for a K1 or marry her and file a CR1.

You’re not screwed. You need to relax and stop fretting over this. Consular officers posted to Ghana typically get a brush up on our customs. What you describe is a knocking ceremony and everyone knows the knocking is not the wedding (traditional marriage). Indeed in our culture the knocking is exactly the equivalent of a western engagement. If it comes up at the interview, tell that consular to ask any ghanaian working with him/her behind the counter.
 
   
That is never recommended, prepaying wedding expenses when you do not control the process. These processes sometimes get delayed. Nevertheless what’s done is done, stay positive.
 
 

Evidence of the approval is the visa a copy of which you will include in the package. Congrats!

You gotta love online boards. People can argue about the most irrelevant topics.
Who cares about whether it was illegal to look up her I-94. Bottom line, he found out that she's a scammer.
OP,
Cancel the petition ASAP and send in all the evidence you have, so in case she tries another K-1, USCIS will have that evidence and may put her through more scrutiny; or they may never use it, nobody can know that.
Cut off all contact with her, and move on, being grateful that you saved yourself a lot of grief.
Good luck.

Sounds more like he did it after he had confronted her about the fraud therefor it is safe to say that consent has been provoked and he has no right to look up what she is or isn't doing.
OP should move on.

Before stating someone has made a violations....consider that perhaps consent was given to OP when he was filing I-129 for use as proof of meeting, and she has not revoked the permission as of yet.

Sorry to hear that.
I disagree with JimVaPhuong. You were prepared but someone bailed out on you. Find someone you can trust and rely on to be your co-sponsor such as a family member. Honestly, I sent about 20 pics to my fiance, but it gas a variety of pics (ei. with family, friends, just the two of us). Hope it doesn't effect our decision. Do you have anymore pics to present? What form were you given? Looks like you are given a second chance. Wish you the best.
