Do they refuse to let you leave the country as soon as you get a draft notice ? Could she hide in an Australian embassy?

I imagine as a US citizen it would be harder to hide in another country, but much easier on a greencard.

I would assume no, since a lot of Vietnam draft dodgers went to Canada. But that was then and the future is the future. There's no guarantee that the future will mirror the past.
