Your case should be evaluated by a qualified attorney to determine if you can challenge the decision denying your waiver of the 2 year home residency requirement. Without more information, it will be difficult to fully advise you as to the procedure.
The general rule is: a person cannot apply for a Green card through adjustment of status process UNTIL and UNLESS their 2-year home residency requirement was either waived OR satisfied by staying abroad in their home country for 2 years.
If the Dept of State denied your waiver request, you may want to discuss this with an attorney, and see what can be done.
You can't apply for a Green Card if your are still subject to 212e. If you do, you will be denied and can be placed for deportation. If you are out of status, your options are very limited.
If a waiver can't be obtained, you will have to spend 2 years in your home country.
