Have you registered your marriage in USA?
in case your marriage is already registered in US, you need not get the same registered again in india. the certificate issued in US is valid in india. your wife is entitled for PIO and there is process for the same whereby you need to apply in FRRO (Foreign Residents Registration Office) at bhikaji cama place in new delhi and then your matter would be referred to Ministry of Home Affairs, Foreign Division and after following the due process and inquiry, your wife would be entitled to extended visa and then PIO card. an immigration lawyer in delhi would be of good help to you.
