You are barred from adjusting status if you entered on a fiance visa & did not adjust status, based on the marriage with the fiance visa petitioner.

The provisional waiver, if approved, only waives unlawful presence. It does not waive any other bars to inadmissibility. Which means, you could still be denied an immigrant visa on other grounds.

I recommend that you discuss your options in-person with an Immigration Attorney in your area, who is well versed in waivers & Consular Processing.
