Hi Welcome to JustAnswer. My first response will follow shortly. Please feel free to follow up if anything is not clear
christhelawyer :
I am not quite sure what you need in this situation. If you have a permanent job, you are likely to be able to extend your work permit if that is your concern. If you want to know about your wife, you could make an application through the family Court for counselling. This is a free service and you just need to go to your local family court, and fill out a simple form to get this counselling. I am sure you will have other questions.
