| "She has not come yet" is the correct one.Which means she is to come but not here yet. She is not coming yet doesn't make sense. |

For me, yet is never used with present continuous so, the second sentence is absolutely not gramatically correct. However, let me try clarifying a different here with an assumption of removal of yet in the second sentence. She hasn't come yet means she is to come but not here yet at the time of speaking. She isn't coming seemingly means there is a plan that her coming does not happen and the speaker knows the plan.
If I have understood something wrong, please help me get it sorted out.
Thanks
