My Fiances (fiancee) visa was refused

I am not satisfied that you and your sponsor are not party to a marriage of convenience to facilitate your entry into the UK.

is it appropriate for the ECO to say this? as I came across a ukba rule a few months back stating something that if the ECO would use this to refuse an application that the ECO have to prove it and then the applicant would challenge it after its been proven by the ECO. not sure really but it sounded like that.

for 'marriage of convenience' yes they can and do, and its about the only reason they can use to refuse someone a Family permit but what evidence do they have to refuse her? they shouldn't be able to if they do not have evidence it is a 'marriage of convenience'
