I have already answered your question not too long ago. Do you still have a doubt? Please clarify your question in that case.

Thanks for you reply.But I am still not sure whcih card she would be eligible for.I know she will not get OCI.Is she eligible for PIO? or any other status for permenant residency. :confused:

You could try for PIO since your wife is currently a US citizen, not a citizen of Pakistan, and she is your (an ex-Indian citizen's) spouse. So technically she does fulfill the definition of PIO as given on Indian embassy's web site -

And also the eligibility criteria given on MHA's web site -
