My question is when will be your opt expiring, is it 12 month?
Did you file for 17 month extension? If not do it

You can file 130 as early as possible and in the mean time if you get a job who can file file h1b, then thats great
if your wife becomes citizen, then you can make it void, and start new application
if you get your priority date b4 she becomes citizen, then you can file 485 based on 130.

My condition was same as yours , but my employer was willing to process 485 so I decided to take that route, I am in OPT but filed for 485 directly as I have 29 months of OPT and I am sure I will get one within that time period.

good luck
