Re: Refused
So sorry to hear your news. I can sympathise as we got a call like that last year when Victoria rejected us for sponsorship. I was so gutted I couldn't even post on here to tell everyone for 2 weeks 
But, we eventually dusted ourselves down, had a rethink and are working hard to reapply in the next couple of weeks. Some people say, if you want something hard enough it'll happen. Not so sure about that one myself, BUT, I do believe that if it's at all possible (and it sounds like in your case it is) then it's worth fighting for.
Hope you agent is able to find out enough to either aid a successful appeal or to help you get the info you need for a new submission.
Don't give up

Re: Refused
The main issue here Nev is with your agent.
If they're credible and possess the necessary knowledge, they should never have taken your money and submitted the application.

We havent given up, I have calmed down a little now, still feel a little empty but i also know its not the end of the world, i just suppose we all know how much effort we have put into this thing. The agent did contact me but unfortunately only to tell me that he had tried twice to call but got an answer machine, he will try again on monday. Watch this space.
