Transiting through USA on VWP to Canada to become work permit holder

Hi,

I'm asking this on behalf of my wife who is from Singapore (a visa waiver country) who made a connecting flight through the USA, going to Canada as final destination. She had been approved for ESTA and her I-94 green form was kept by the US immigration officer. Upon entering Canada, she got her Canadian open work permit.

We plan to visit the US from canada for vacation in Oct 11, which will be more than 90 days her visa waiver is valid for.

Would there be a problem for her to enter the US, given the above situation? She does not have her green form and she is a work permit holder in Canada and therefore will be returning to Canada after our vacation.

I'm getting conflicting messages and the embassies responses are not clear and direct! Thanks for your help.

Sebastian
