Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Residency status

My wife and I are both citizens of Trinidad and Tobago. My wife has a teachers international visa. With this visa she is allowed to file for residency for me and her children. The paperwork has been submitted and we are awaiting responses. I currently have a H4 visa which expires June 2008. We have been married 4 years, have been living in the US for those 4 years and are currently seperated. If she decides that she does not want to continue with the process of filing for me due to our separation what are my options? I have established a life in the US and do not wish to return to Trinidad for an undetermined amount of time.
