so please help how we will proceed further

1.do we have to apply together or firstly we have to wait for my wife PGWP.
2.what will happen to my SOWP , as she is not having any skilled job / paystubs
3.do I have to wait for her to get into skilled job before I apply to SOWP.
4.in case of any rejection , what will happen ?
*do I have to leave the country immediately , or will I get time to process it again ?
*or I have to apply for visitor visa ?

Look at the application for documents requirements. Spouses of international students are not guaranteed SOWP.

You have already started the process. You just have to wait and follow any directions you are sent. Spouses of international students aren’t guaranteed an SOWP.
