I was under the impression that a K3 allows multiple entry/exits to the USA

We have traveled to Japan/Korea twice since coming to the US in April 2003 on a K3, No problems at all with entry. Have your wife stand in the US citizens line with you at the entry point.

You don't need AP even if you have filed AOS with a K3. Here's an exerpt from USCIS website


Advance Parole
Most aliens who have pending applications for immigration benefits or for changes in nonimmigrant status need Advance Parole to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad. Aliens applying for advance parole on the basis of a pending application for adjustment of status must be approved for advance parole prior to leaving the United States in order to avoid the termination of their pending application for adjustment.


Note: this does not apply to aliens who have applied to adjust to permanent resident status and who maintain H-1B (Specialty Worker) or L-1 (Intracompany Transferee) status, or their dependents, who have applied to adjust to permanent resident status and who have valid H-1B or L status and valid visas, V nonimmigrants who have a valid V nonimmigrant visa, are in valid V nonimmigrant status and have or obtain a valid V nonimmigrant visa before applying for readmission to the US, and K-3/4 nonimmigrants who have applied to adjust to permanent resident status and who have a valid K-3/4 nonimmigrant visa, are in valid K-3/4 nonimmigrant status and have or obtain a valid K-3/4 nonimmigrant visa before applying for readmission to the US.

Oh, you might want to print out that page from the UCSIS website and take it with you in case you have a problem. I had a copy just in case. We didn't have any problems at the LAX POE. They knew about it already.
