Going by what you have just posted, about providing of proof of funds etc, sounds like you had picked the short straw on eco selection

Go through the appeal process and God willing you we will both get the correct result.

I don't think I would blame your Lady because she has no job, she won't be able to save from that 'job' anyway, you work to eat, that's about it, not to have savings as well.

Many a Tourist visa issued without girl friends having employment.

Just take time looking through previous threads on this subject, I'm sure it will enlighten you both.

Good luck to you both
Thanks for your support. We have decided not to appeal this time and I have already booked flights to go back in Aug/Sept and January. We will probably re-apply in August or later in the year.
Next time we will get a fully cancellable airline ticket so at least we can show that she intends to return. we will also provide more info on her family and give more reasons why she wants to return.
All's not lost, at least it means that I get out there another couple of times in the next 6 months
