The college international student office will issue her the most appropriate I-20. Nether she nor you has any say in it.
She will not obtain entry into a graduate program if her language skills do not meet the minimum requirements. Just intending to pursue a graduate degree means nothing; she must have received admission which depends on many factors of which language skills is only one. If and only if she has been admitted to the graduate program, should she expect to receive an I-20 for that program.
She should be communicating with the school; you need to stay out of it. The university cannot legally communicate with you about her situation.

If I were in her position, I would take the combined program. I find a great deal of security in the university making the extended commitment.
I do not see why there would be any more difficulty getting a visa for it than for the short program unless - and that could be the deciding issue - there is some financial support issue that cannot be met for the longer program.
Again, the international student officers (not the clerical workers in the office but the main official) at most universities are extremely competent at advising students. If that individual feels that she qualifies for the longer I-20, I would not see any reason not to go for that program.
