L2 Visa--> How to approach permanent ineligibility due to misrepresentation of facts

[trackvisa]

Dear Members,
My L2 visa was denied at the consulate this week as per the clause below:
212(a)(6)(c)(i): Misrepresentation when applying for a visa or entry to the US.

we got our wedding solemnized in a registrar's office after the ring ceremony. However, a bigger wedding function happened after that.
I went to the visa office for L2 visa with the marriage certificate and pictures from ring ceremony with an understanding that the certificate being a legal document will be recognized by the consular. Since we were not able to produce the actual wedding pictures at that time, the visa was denied and i was also given a permanent in eligibility. The consular also tome that even my husband will not be able to travel.

I would like to know what would be the best course forward? What is the possibility of a waiver?

Thanks,
TrackV

How long have you been married? It sounds like you have just been married for days/months before the Visa application?

Do you have kids? Or on the way?
Do you own a house/property together?
Common financials?

Maybe this will help? My experience is that they want to be sure, that this is not a proforma marriage. I personally think that if you can provide that the marriage is not something you just thought of yesterday, and can provide substantial proof that the marriage is real, then there should be no problem.
