I just found this community so I thought I ask this question here as well. I did Arya Samaj wedding with proper ritual and about 2 dozen people present in our ceremony. I registered the marriage with the government and got the proper certificate. We have pictures of our fire rituals. I am going through a CR1 process and my spouse is waiting for an interview at Mumbai. We have been DQ. I have chat logs over two years and bunch of pictures from my multiple trips to India when I visited my spouse. I have been reading about consular officers questioning Arya Samaj even though the marriage is properly registered. We have been waiting over a year now to be united and some consular officer giving us hard time is the last thing we want. Am I overthinking this? What other solid evidence besides the marriage pics and pictures of time spent together they wanna see? Thanks!
Marriage pictures with pundits and relatives are a good proof.
I have written about the marriage proofs that they ask for (in cases like H4 visa) here:
