The simple answer is no. The very complicated, lengthy and expensive answer is that your wife will have to go through an Immigration process called the K3 visa application. It can and probably will take about 8 months if you submit everything correctly and do it quickly. You will have to first apply for an permanent residency for her (I-130), you receive a receipt, then you can apply for the K3 visa (I-129F) so she can get off the plane and get through customs with you. Contrary to the fact that the visa cannot even be applied for without first applying for residency permit, the authorities involved with this will (ultimately) inform you that these are SEPARATE applications. It is very complicated and trust me, the websites involved are confusing and when you are in the midst of the process it is even more confusing. The websites are the www.travel.state.gov (this is for the National Visa Center processing of the I-130) and www.uscis.gov. You will need information and forms from both of them. The I-130 is what will make her a "legal resident", but if the processing of the I-130 takes longer than the K3 processing (which it almost always does), and you want to get her here as soon as possible, apply for the K3 and then complete the I-130 or"adjust" her status when you get her home. Then she will be permanent resident and be eligible for a green card. It takes another 3 years for her to apply for citizenship.
