Nervous!

As much as i dont wanna be pessimistic, I cant help being worried and paranoid. I lodged my application on july 4 and my question is, if my entry gets refused (we will appeal most definitely), would my application still be under the old rules or would the new ones apply to us already? thanks..

Yep, you should be OK under those circumstances.

Here's what UKBA say about that:-

Those granted leave following an appeal allowed on or after 9 July 2012 against a refusal under the rules in force prior to that date will get leave under those rules. They will continue to be dealt with under those rules through to indefinite leave to remain if they qualify for it, subject to the requirement from October 2013 to pass the Life in the UK test and present an English language speaking and listening qualification at B1 level or above to qualify for settlement. The new criminality thresholds will also apply to such cases.
