Re: asylum NIOD
The first question to ask is were you represented when filing the asylum claim? Hopefully, you kept a copy of your I-589 and what you submitted in support of your application.
Also, why didn't you go for your fingerprints? Lastly, what was the issue in the NOID?
Please email me directly answers to the above, then call; I'll be more than happy to speak with you about this.
Best,

Re: asylum NIOD
You should wait for the response to the NOID on your own asylum case. As for your wife not submitting her fingerprints, well, that was a mistake since there's a chance you could still win. She'll be denied and won't get any benefits as a derivative asylee even if your asylum is approved, unless she asks USCIS to allow a new fingerprint appointment later (assuming you win). But, I would just wait to see what the result of your rebuttal to the NOID is since it's only been a month.
As for your wife filing a separate asylum application, she can only do so if it is within one year of her date of entry to the U.S.
