Hey XuqaZ...i think its not that hard to bring yur wife here if u are in F1 status but the problem is u have to show certain income level from the School (as F1 can't work offcampus)....The regular income ($$15,000 per year or more--just an example, not sure abt this) should be from on campus employment like GA, TA and other research assistantship. i am not sure if u have any but it is necessary otherwise there will be problem to get visa for yur wife...So, make sure abt that..talk to yur intl advisor...coz i have seen lots of people's spouses get stuck there just becoz their document is not enough..and i think it would be no probem to bring yur wife here if u able to show campus employment rather than showing bank statement with lots of money...
