Hi Rupesh
I myself on H4 visa. I can't answer all of your queries regarding your wife's study plan but I can answer few of your questions. I have currently enrolled for my Master's at a North carolina University. If you are able to prove that you have been residing in a particular state of U.S for more than 12 months and in that state's university, your wife is applying for her further studies, her tuition fees will lessen. For claiming her as a resident of your resident state, you have to show your utility bills, your apartment rent documents or if you have bought your house, then the documents of your house, your passport, visa, work permit, your wife's visa etc. In short all the documents that prove that you are legally residing and residing for more than 12 months. Still you can consult the university, as rules do vary a little state to state.And yes, you can take student loan on your wife's behalf. I hope my explanation serves as an answer to at least one question of your question list.

You can get a student loan in the US, however you do need a local guarantor. Whether or not your H1B status will prevent you being a guarantor, you would have to verify that with financial institutions. Try searching for 'international student loan' on google and follow the pointers. Make sure you use a reputable financial institution and compare terms.
