Hello. Yes, you can process a Parole in Place as the spouse of a US military member. If this approved, she will then have the right to process her green card in the US. I would be happy to help discuss this option.

You can file a provisional waiver in the United States before she goes to an embassy or consulate for her interview. DACA approval does not give her legal status to adjust to permanent residence within the United States.
