theres a list of thingys (sorry appropriate word wont come) that include length of time spent in uk, strength of ties to the uk and other things (sorry cant remember them either its that long since i saw a rejection letter) but anyway it all goes on that when it goes through the Home Office, its a standard thing thats basically black and white, an appeal can be made against the decision
