Return on AP with H1B 221g pending

My wife is stuck in H1B "name check/administrative processing" under 221g. This is because she works in Virology.

She also has AP from my green card application. The Chennai embassy mentioned that she can apply to withdraw her application. However, the name check process cannot be withdrawn. So, the department of state will proceed with this.

Now, they asked us to contact our lawyer about whether she can return on AP. The real question is whether the officer at the port of entry may deny her entry based on this pending H1B 221g “name check”. Does this matter?

Thanks a lot for your help.
