W2 correction due to FICA taxes

Hi,

 

My wife is exempt from paying FICA taxes so she reached out to her employer to get W2 corrected. The employer is saying they will reach out to ADP to get it corrected. The employer is  not giving any specific timeline when we will get corrected W2 so that they can process refund of FICA to her. They are saying timing will be dictated by ADP.  We file joint returns. She is on F1 and I am on H1B status. 

 

Given we are close to filing timeline of April 15, Our CPA is giving us two options Option 1: file extension Option2: file return now and then amend it later. Looking to see what option we should go with? Can everyone please opine?
