You should apply for an ITIN for your wife. You can file an amended return and change from Married Filing Separate to Married Filing Joint (you can't switch from MFJ to MFS unless you do so before the due date of the return, without extension). If you file an amended return and change your filing status and it results in less tax you will receive a refund.
