EI have a JFK flight about 3pm. Better still would be to bag a ticket on a 7am flight to the US but I don't think they exist in the summer ex-DUB.

To be honest, I would be preparing for the worst case scenario at Changi. Perhaps those of us living with the more visa friendly passports forget these issues...
Ah yes. You're absolutely correct regarding CTA. What would you suggest with regards to booking a refundable ticket to US? I assume you that this would allow her to stay at DUB for the 24 hours and cancel it right before hand and board our original AA/US flights?

Edit: I do have an AA option that falls 20 mins past the 24 hour mark at 8:55am which I can book on miles... But then again I don't think they will allow it.
