You cannot change your status online, and a personal visit to the USCIS will gain you nothing. You wife has to file an immigrant petition for you (Form I-130). It should be filed together with your application for adjustment of status (Form I-485), employment authorization (Form I-765), advance parole (Form I-131), and your wife's affidavit of support (Form I-864). All these forms can be found at uscis.gov, along with the instructions for each form. Technically, one is supposed to be able to fill out and file all these forms just by following the instructions. Most people try - and go to an immigration attorney for help. The rest go to an immigration attorney after their done-by-themselves applications get denied and $1490 in filing fees paid to USCIS, lost.
