What should I do if my Thai girlfriend's tourist visa application to the U.S. is denied?

Stephen ******

My wife of 15 years was denied tourist visas twice, both pre-Covid during the Trump presidency. She had already been to the States twice (2005 and 2011) on a previous tourist visa. I provided her with tons of paperwork, including photos of her elderly parents, our school here in Thailand, her university degree, etc....They didn't look at any of it. They just gave us a letter telling us to try again ($$$) and provide more info. What is the point of supplying more if they don't even bother to look at it? It is a total disgrace. As a taxpaying US citizen I am appalled by this. All we wanted to do was attend out daughter's high school graduation. I am so disgusted by this that I never want to step foot on US soil ever again.
