The only person that can overturn a denial of visitation is the warden. You will have to petition their office by first calling the secretary. Explain your situation in a respectful and calm manner.  There might be a mistake or there might be smething they uncovered that will need some explanation.

Getting approved at one facility does not automatically carry over to others unless they are in the same system (state or federal), then you would be approved across all locations.

yes, as long as you have been approved

Some places have restrictions for certain situations but this is not the norm. If you are the mother of the inmate's child, we doubt very much there is a prison or jail in this country that would stop you from visiting. We would recommend calling the facility and speak with a counselor or case manager to get the straight story. If that doesn't work, call the warden's secretary and tell them your situation. You will get in there.

Sometimes you get lucky and they let something small like this go through. If not, you will have to re-do the application and submit it again.

Visits are never long enough. There are never enough visits. The lower the security, the better the visits are. Minimum security visitation is in a very relaxed state and they are at least two hours long. You visit on park bench-style set up. For federal prison, this was as good as it could get.

Inmates may use the phone pretty much during all "waking hours". Phone lines are open at 6am and turn off at 11pm. Visitors to Hill Corrections Center will be required to produce photo identification and verification of date of birth. Please be sure to bring 2 forms of identification with you; these would include a current photo ID such as a driver’s license, a state ID card, government ID card, military ID/driver’s license, or acceptable documentation of non-U.S.

You can get a special visit through the warden's office. Since we are not familiar with your case, it might prove to make this more difficult to get approval. Being her husband is the strongest argument. Just contact the warden's office and in the most humble fashion, ask "what you need to do to get permission to see your wife."

Yes, in most all state facilities, the visitors must be "approved" after their information is run through the national crime database (NCIC). People with felony convictions on their record will not be aproved for visits. BUT, there is a way to get approval. The warden's office is the only place a special waiver for a felon may be obtained.
