we had a registered civil marriage on 1 oct as soon as my husband came to india on 30 sept and applied for the settlement visa. didnt submit any pictures of the registered marriage...only the original marriage certificate. we did click a few pics at my house before going to court for our registered civil marriage but forgot to include these pics with my application.
we had a wedding party in india after a week on 8th oct and went on our honeymoon in india and clicked lots of pics. but all this happened only after i submitted my visa application with only our marriage certificate as proof.
later my visa got rejected even though I had submitted my original marriage certificate of our registered civil marriage on 1 oct, 2009 on the grounds that my husband was not with me at the time of my marriage on 1 oct and i have never met my sponsor. plus we were under 21 years of age (this despite submitting our marriage certificate and passports showing our birth dates).
now confused whether to re-apply or appeal. what do u think we should do?

please help me out!!! u think all this will help if we apply again???? can u think of any more additional docs???
worried about only 1 thing...the pics and video and all the proof that i have is only after the registered marriage that happened a week before...does all this proof still count??
the only proof that we have to show that my husband was in india at the time of our registered civil marriage is the marriage certificate, visa stamps on his passport showing his arrival in india on 30 sept and 9-10 photos taken at my house before going to court. is this enough?????
please hear me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would be really grateful to hear from u soon as i am too stressed out and lost all hope!!!!!!!!!!!
