Sorry to hear that a seemingly simple case like yours has become a nightmare. Just out of interest, is there any reason that might make HO doubt your marriage is not genuine, e.g age difference, length of relationship, your wife's working status?
I thought if you are EEA national's spouse, as long as she exercises her treaty rights here, you automatically have the right to live and work here. The residence card is only confirming your right. If your appeal got refused again, can the HO deport you?

thanks for the reply guys.its my worse nightmare so far.
the only reason they told us was very little evidence we provided to prove that we live at same address and on top of that the immigration officers could not get acces to our flat.
the mistakes we made were we did not go through solicister and second was trusting on HO advisers .
before we made our applications i sopke to HO few times and every time i asked them what documents do we need,how many documents do we need and how many months worth of documents do we need.
Every timer they said you need documents in last 6 weeks,bank statements,payslips,emplyment letters,utility bills.on the last time when i spoke to HO adviser and i told her what documents we are sending with our applications and she said this is very simple and easy case, you should be fine and yet HO case worker rejected my application on the basis of insufficient evidence.it has been bugging me since may.
When we were preparing our documens i went through the HO website it clearly says you do not need to take permission to live here as member of eea family but if you want to get job or something you do need permission for your employers.
I did mentione that to HO adviser that and she said i do need to apply before 5th of feb othwise i would be considered illegal.That clearly shows that either HO advisers giving out wrong advices or the case workers do not have clue what they doing.
As long as my relationship is concern the registry office made sure that either we are genuine or not and took our interviews before we got married.
we had family and friends on our marrige ceremoney.the HO has got photos of our marriege.
We do not really know what other documents we should send for appeal or for fresh application .
My question to everyone out there is if our marrige is not geniune then why are we still living together after 2 years and why we still fighting with HO and the courts?
