There are different ways to maintain the status, generally we get 90 days after the opt start date and in order to remain within status you can do either of the following: 1) working on a project with professor from her university (research/academic) is the easiest one. 2) There are Consultancies that give you offer letters that can freeze your period.

If you’re on H1B then she could be an H4 and get a work permit.
My friend’s wife’s h1b didn’t work out so they both moved to London coz their companies had branches there.
Anyway, I’m no expert so please talk to a specialist.
