How do I qualify my wife to be buried with me? Do I need to go on the national website or is there some other way because I already have been approved and have the approval document.

According to this: https://www.cem.va.gov/cem/docs/factsheets/Planning_Legacy_Booklet.pdf

Your spouse needs to have a VA form 40-10007, just like you, to be be buried in a national cemetery with you.

Pre approval is actually just something the VA does to ease your mind. 214 and marriage certificate at time of need is all that is ever required.
