Seems a bit to straight forward to me but we will see.

Officially, what you've been told is correct as far as I know. Whether they will expect to see her last 3 years' tax returns as part of her application to support your visa is another question, but assuming she probably has a brand spanking new social security number, you may be able to fall back on that as "proof" that she had no obligation to file.
If you get an argument anywhere along the way, you just file the last three years, writing "NO INCOME" across the front of the form. (Easiest sort of forms to fill out.) There shouldn't be any problem, however, if her social security number wasn't issued until this past year, as the IRS computers won't be looking for a match-up.
