Likewise, I can't/don't speak for DYS, but from a psychometric angle, the QRI is likely not one of the acceptable indices for qualification because it is too narrow of a construct, and too limited in g-loading to stand as a proxy for overall PG-ness. The indices they selected generally are those with more robust psychometric qualities and loading on general intelligence.
I would also agree that there is nothing to lose (other than a bit of your time and effort) from applying. If they don't qualify her this time around, you can always apply in the future (with new test scores, at least 24 months from now to avoid retest invalidation). In any case, if not qualified, she will be in exactly the same situation she was before.
Also, if what you are looking for is advocacy, information or other support for a GT child, DYS is not the only resource out there. You might want to look into your state chapter of the National Association for Gifted Children (e.g., California:
https://cagifted.org/), or Mensa (she has qualifying scores), or one of the major academic talent search centers (JHU's CTY, Duke's TIP).
Or you can just hang out here in this very nice online community, and talk to us.
