H4 to F1 (OPT) - leaving the country and entering

Hello,

My wife's current situation:
1) Entered the US in 2008 on H4 visa and since not left the country
2) She only has H4 visa stamped on her passport (no F1 visa stamped) and H4 visa expiring in June 2010
3) She got admitted to full-time MBA program and converted (change of status) to F1 in 2009
4) She is graduating in May 2010
5) She will apply for OPT in March 2010 with a start date for OPT for June 2010
I am currently on H1B visa. I recently changed my employer and my recent approved I129 is till April 2012.

Ques - If my wife wants to leave the US after her MBA graduation in July 2010, kindly advise the best way for her to enter the US ?
Also, can she enter the country on approved OPT without getting any visa stamped on her passport ?

Thank you
