US citizen, denied entry, deported, appeal help

Hello, I am, looking for some help. I am a US citizen, I was in England for 6 months on a visitor visa. After 6 months, I went to Prague for a CELTA course and spent 6 weeks here. I applied for a general visitor visa at the Consulate and they claimed I didn't have enough documents to obtain a visa, but told me "you don't really need one" and said they would return my passport without stamping it "refused" if I didn't ask for a refund. I figured I was all good to return to the UK. At immigration at Leeds-Bradford, I was denied entry and returned to Prague. They told me I was not visiting, but trying to live in the UK. I am not trying to live in the UK, my UK fiancée and I are both moving to Hong Kong in August and I was just trying to avoid being separated from her. I am trying to find out if I would be able to successfully appeal this decision. Thanks in advance for ANY help. Sincerely, Justin.

Unfortunately, the Entry Officer would have taken the view that you should be refused on the following (Modernised Guidance Immigration Rules)
 intend to live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits

Previously the Rules actually stipulated that on a visitor visa, no longer than 6 months (180 days) could be spent in the UK in a 12 month period. This is now at the discretion of the Entry Officer. Popping in and out, in this case a 6 month stay, 6 weeks away and an intended stay until August would flag up as more than simply visiting...especially with a fiancée living in the UK.

And it has to be said - as an objective outsider ... to have been intending to spend a year - minus 6 weeks - in the UK - I'd call you a resident and not a visitor.

So an appeal would be pointless?

Afraid so.
