Hi Pat!
Don't give up I also applied for visit visa before i applied for fiancee visa both application was turned down in both instance i appealed.
I was told in my visit visa that it cannot be appealed.
But when i appealed for the fiancee visa it was overturned 3 months after i was denied.
Always hope and pray sis things always happen for a reason,I am sure your time will come.Take care
