From 2010 till near end of 2012 i couldnt apply because the age requirement was 21 or over and my wife was 18 at that time but now the rule is 18 or over :)... but its pointless now because NOW my wife is 21 xD!!! if only the 18 or over rule was there before so then i wouldnt of had to wait 2/3 years lol

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, it does worry me too knowing that whenever it takes a looooong time then there must be something going on... dont tell me that they just said no and didnt give you any reason why because if thats the case then wow, i would really wanna throw some chairs around! but good news is that once you appeal it pretty much gets accepted because i believe that if you appeal it then they think it must be genuine otherwise who would bother wasting all that time and money just for a non genuine relationship

Sorry for your refusal ... what exactly is the wording of the refusal and what documents did you use to support your relationship please?

Please accept my commiseration once again!

I believe if you appeal this it would be allowed; You can do appeal and then send them a reconsideration application as well. If they approved it via reconsideration then you can withdraw your appeal, though it will all depend on the reason(s) the ECO gave in the refusal letter.

I really feel sorry for you and can understand your stress.

JUST TO SAY THAT YOU CAN ASK ECM TO REVIEW IT PROVIDE FURTHER EVIDENCE I.E CALL HISTORY AND OR CHAT MESSAGES ETC.

A client of my solicitor was refused recently and he contacted embassy and they asked him to put appeal through as well as submit for review to embassy, so you may try same and get approval.
Hope that helps.
