Unless your spouse entered the country with inspection, your spouse is not eligible for adjustment of status even if she was granted Deferred Action. Your only option is to get the I-130 approved and have it transferred to the National Visa Center for consular processing, where she will eventually be required to return to her home country to attend the immigrant visa interview at the US embassy/consulate. If your spouse has accumulated more than 1 year of unlawful presence in the US, she is subject to the 10-year bar and will need to apply for a provisional waiver on form I-601A and get it approved prior to her departure. Otherwise, she will not be allowed to reenter the US until she has remained outside of the US for the 10 years. This is a complicated process and it is highly recommended that you hire professional help.

Husband must complete the I-864, even if unemployed. If you are legally authorized to work, you complete the I-864A. If you are not authorized to work, you need a co-sponsor to file another I-864. This co-sponsor must either be an American citizen or a green card holder and meet the income requirement. Good luck.
