For what purpose as permit will be refused. Wife can change status to visitor. Once refused, you are out of status.

Once you are refused you are out of status. You cannot restore status to visitor or worker because it probably is more than 90 days since permits expired. Wife should apply to change status to visitor. Are you hoping for invitation?
