So upset, and don't know where to turn.

My boyfriend and I have been together and engaged for nearly four years.

He is an overstayer from West Africa, and has been here nearly six years.

He recently claimed asylum, and this has been refused.

When he saw his case worker, he was told to bring documents proving that we live together(which he did), and we thought that thie may strengthen his case.

How wrong we were!

We have been given two weeks to appeal, but am so scared about what will happen after then. We will of course appeal.

We are in love, and it is so awful that a couple in love are being stopped from being together.

What did the UKBA say about your relationship? On what grounds did they refuse?

I have not seen the letter he was sent as am away at the moment.

From what he has told me, they have refused him because they say he doesn't have a valid reason for not returning to his country, the fact he has been an overstayer for all this time, and they also say that I can easily live with him in his country.
