You need to seek more specifics within India forum about your marriage certificate. This happened also to my friend in Pakistan and it was actually the way the officials filed it it was not accepted at embassy. You need to check with others what they submitted compared to yours.

Your options filing another petition isn't going to get you anywhere. You need to know why. Now you say that certificate which seems odd they would deny over a certificate instead of telling you to get a new one.

I would involve my senator /congressman immediately.

I can do that but I still dint get wat is the next procesure n how much time it'll gonna take n when I can take any action against this irresponsible decision.

Well this was a reaffirm interview. So again your petition is being sent back to be revoked. No one knows what USCIS will decide whether to just deny you outright or ask for whatever it is that they need. It's a waiting game yet again. Thais is why you need your congressman on it.

I have a friend they were denied at their reaffirm interview. Petition came back in August and USCIS told them it would be July of next year before they even look at it.

Timeline on a denied Reaffirm I don;t think there is one.

Oh, Gosh. your interview took place in New Delhi. My spouse's interview will be scheduled in New Delhi very soon.

1) Where was your marriage certificate issued? (what city/town and which court)

2) Is your marriage certificate an apostille marriage certificate (showing seal stamp -- official certificate) or attestated marriage certificate (signed by court judge)?

3) Do you have a lawyer?

You might get affidavit of marriage letter(s) - witness, priest, family members, parents, siblings, under oath. but not sure if they are acceptable. I have a friend who had issues with marriage certificate that didn't show apostille stamp. He (US citizen - petitioner) and his wfie went to the court to request the valid legitimate certificate with seal stamp (like lion stamp or state stamp, etc.) in south India so US consular officer in Mumbai approved and issued visa for his wife.

but like people in this forum suggested, try to contact a senator or one of House respresentatives in your state where petitioner lives.

sorry to hear it , my case was rejected too at interview but i was able to stop my case at embassy level , what you need to do now , get a good lawyer so he/she can guide you , u must be doing some mistake , you need to work on same case , filing new petition wont help they will reject it again , they have doubts on your marriage so you need to convince them, that you have bonafied marriage , get all documents that can prove your marriage is real.

You have to understand a submitting a new petition doesn't fix what is broken. You still have the same issues. You need to fix them first then wait diligently for the USCIS outcome. If denied then refile. But refiling gains you nothing. It would be the same thing all over again. Get a lawyer.

Let me post this in the interview thread so others from India maybe can give incite.
