What happened to your lawyer in 2020?  If they are not helping you, you should hire a new one.

You should submit a letter proving why you will suffer hardship if you have to move to your spouse's Country.Mention what kind of dificultes you will have of readjusting your life in her Country; if your profession is not recognized in her Country and you will suffer hardship because your quality of life will decrease; family separation(if you have kids from a previous marriage or some of your parents are ill etc.).Read below what USCIS mentions about hardship.

  • Qualifying relative’s ties to family members living in the United States, including age, status, and length of residence of any children.

  • Responsibility for the care of any family members in the United States, particularly children, elderly adults, and disabled adults.

  • The qualifying relative’s ties, including family ties, to the country of relocation, if any.

  • Prior or current military service of qualifying relative.

  • Impact on the cognitive, social, or emotional well-being of a qualifying relative who is left to replace the applicant as caregiver for someone else, or impact on the qualifying relative (for example, child or parent) for whom such care is required.

Social and Cultural Impact

  • Loss of access to the U.S. courts and the criminal justice system, including the loss of opportunity to request or provide testimony in criminal investigations or prosecutions; to participate in proceedings to enforce labor, employment, or civil rights laws; to participate in family law proceedings, victim’s compensation proceedings, or other civil proceedings; or to obtain court orders regarding protection, child support, maintenance, child custody, or visitation.

  • Fear of persecution or societal discrimination.

  • Prior grant of U nonimmigrant status.

  • Existence of laws and social practices in the country of relocation that would punish the qualifying relative because he or she has been in the United States or is perceived to have Western values.

  • Access or lack of access to social institutions and structures (official and unofficial) for support, guidance, or protection.

  • Social ostracism or stigma based on characteristics such as gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, race, national origin, ethnicity, citizenship, age, political opinion, marital status, or disability. [6] 

  • Qualifying relative’s community ties in the United States and in the country of relocation.

  • Extent to which the qualifying relative has integrated into U.S. culture, including language, skills, and acculturation.

  • Extent to which the qualifying relative would have difficulty integrating into the country of relocation, including understanding and adopting social norms and established customs, including gender roles and ethical or moral codes.

  • Difficulty and expense of travel/communication to maintain ties between qualifying relative and applicant, if the qualifying relative does not relocate.

  • Qualifying relative’s present inability to communicate in the language of the country of relocation, as well as the time and difficulty that learning that language would entail.

  • Availability and quality of educational opportunities for qualifying relative (and children, if any) in the country of relocation.

  • Availability and quality of job training, including technical or vocational opportunities, for qualifying relative (and children, if any) in the country of relocation.

  • Ability to recoup losses, or repay student loan debt.

  • Cost of extraordinary needs, such as special education or training for children.

  • Cost of care for family members, including children and elderly, sick, or disabled parents.

Health Conditions 
and Care

  • Health conditions and the availability and quality of any required medical treatment in the country to which the applicant would be returned, including length and cost of treatment.

  • Psychological impact on the qualifying relative due to either separation from the applicant or departure from the United States, including separation from other family members living in the United States.

  • Psychological impact on the qualifying relative due to the suffering of the applicant.
