Why Portland? Just curious. The commute times can vary greatly, depending on if you take mass transit (the max, or w/e) or if you're taking 205 or i-5. The commute greatly depends on you, how long do you want to be in a car even before you get to work? Long commutes can ruin a day, especially if it's an hour in each direction. A 25-30 mile commute in portland could easily take an hour even during less than packed lanes.
As for the wife, is she a US citizen? If so, then there shouldn't be any problem as she can get the proper identification. If you're talking about you coming over and working then her coming over then the best bet would to be either:
A) You come over then have her come over on her own or just bring her with.
B) You come over then get the time to go back and hold her hand the whole way over.
C) (Not really an option) Tell her to swim. :D
Hope some of this helps, pm me if you need clarification.
