stimulus cheque tax filing single vs married jointly

In 2018, I had filed tax as single as my wife was in Nepal and she didn't have GC and SSN.
In 2019, my wife got GC but not yet SSN due to pandemic crap and  I was about to file tax married jointly including my dependent child. But due to mistake from SSN/USCIS, my wife never got SSN and then pandemic started and SSN office had been closed forever and didn't issue SSN for my wife.
So, as of today I couldn't file tax of 2019 as filing married jointly gives me good return.

if I would /could have filed tax of 2019, I would have got stimulus package for myself, for my wife and for my child.
But IRS took the reference from 2018 and send only $1200.
