I'm sorry to tell you, but this will not work out. Your spouse can only
apply for a work permit once you are in the US. The application will
take several months, but you can request a temporary work permit (valid
for 3 months if I remember correctly) if you haven't got any response
90 days after you filed the application. The following website has some
very useful information (for Stanford CA, but I guess the general
information is valid in all states):
