If your score without her TEF results is too low to receive an ITA, you won't get your ITA until next year, even if you create a profile now.
So if you have an EE profile, it will just be waiting until your wife's TEF results are added and your score increases.

But if the CRS cutoff drops in the upcoming months (which people on the forum think it will), you may find that your CRS is high enough for an ITA without her TEF results.
In this case, if you don't have a profile, you will miss out on ITA.

In my opinion, it's always better to have an EE profile. That way, if the score drops suddenly, you wont miss out.
