My Fiances (fiancee) visa was refused

Yes we had an advisor to help with the application, but only paid for that. If we want help with an appeal we have to pay an additional £1,300. So we are on our own :(

I am not satisfied that you and your sponsor are not party to a marriage of convenience to facilitate your entry into the UK. I am not satisfied that you and your partner are in a subsisting relationship or that you intend to live permanently together after the marriage.

We provided loads of evidence of daily communication via skype, emails, calls etc!!!!

I have considered your application under article 8 ECHR. I am reminded that the UK is entitled to control the entry of Foreign nationals into its territory and is not obliged to give effect to the choice a couple make as to where the wish to live. You have provided no evidence there are insurmountable obstacles to prevent your sponsor from relocating to your home country to enjoy family life or to continue visiting to you there. I am not prepared to accept that Article 8 (1) is engaged. Even if it is, I do not accept this decision constitutes interference with Article 8, as this is a qualified right. Your Fiancée can continue to visit you and contact you and this decision does not interfere with such contact.
Additionally I am satisfied that this decision is justified and proportionate in the interests of maintaining an effective immigration control and the economic well being of the country.

We submitted medical evidence to prove I can not live outside of the UK. I am convinced they threw half of our documents in the bin as they also did not give back some of the original documents such as My Doctors letter stating why I can not live outside of the UK, my introduction letter and some other documents also. Why do you think they did that ? will this make things harder for us in appeal ? we made a photo copy of everything we submitted including numbering the pages before we submitted the bundle to them. How can we prove we did submit those documents?

I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied that on the balance of probabilities you meet all of the requirements of the immigration rules.

Yellowcloud, as Rhose says, don't lose your hope.
There will be the opportunity to appeal.
Bigmarco faced issues that didn't seem credible and now has won through.

Just look at what the refusal states, then look at the immigration requirements for proving genuine relationship and intention to marry and compare objectively with what was submitted.
It may be that you will be eligible for legal aid.

Just don't panic.

Yellowcloud, what nationality is your fiance(e) ?
How many times have you met? and when was the last time you met?
