1. Just being separated from your spouse is not an exceptional hardship in the eyes of the U.S. government, even though it may be a hardship for you personally. The hardship needs to be exceptional, as in cases where returning to the home country could be dangerous due to war activities or health problems, such as medical conditions that cannot be treated in your home country for your U.S. citizen spouse or hardship.

2. You can get a J1 hardship waiver (but not a no objection waiver) even if you've received U.S. funding, but the U.S. Department of State is going to raise the bar even higher when considering your exceptional hardship.

3. The Department of State and the USCIS both evaluate your application for a J1 hardship waiver, and that's why the process is so complicated. Please contact a qualified immigration attorney before attempting any change in your immigration status.
