Your are leagally married right ?? why did you apply as conjugal I think you made a mistake you should have applied under the spousal catogory not conjugal ??
This is what conjugal means :
conjugal partner (not married nor common-law; by some very specific reasons u did not manage to get married or live together (strong and serious reasons like war, visa requirements, etc))I think thats the reason why your application was refused u shouldnt go further with the appeal you should submit a new application under the spousal catogory not conjugal by reading your post either you made a mistake while filling the app or the visa office made a mistake with processing your app ( which is highly unlikely)

Conjugal partner
This category is for partners—either of the opposite sex or same sex—in exceptional circumstances beyond their control that prevent them from qualifying as common-law partners or spouses by living together.
A conjugal relationship is more than a physical relationship. It means you depend on each other, there is some permanence to the relationship and there is the same level of commitment as a marriage or a common-law relationship.
You may apply as a conjugal partner if:
you have maintained a conjugal relationship with your sponsor for at least one year and you have been prevented from living together or marrying because of:
an immigration barrier
your marital status (for example, you are married to someone else and living in a country where divorce is not possible) or
your sexual orientation (for example, you are in a same-sex relationship and same-sex marriage is not permitted where you live)
you can provide evidence there was a reason you could not live together (for example, you were refused long-term stays in each other's country).
You should not apply as a conjugal partner if:
You could have lived together but chose not to. This shows that you did not have the level of commitment required for a conjugal relationship. (For example, one of you may not have wanted to give up a job or a course of study, or your relationship was not yet at the point where you were ready to live together.)
You cannot provide evidence there was a reason that kept you from living together.
You are engaged to be married. In this case, you should either apply as a spouse once the marriage has taken place or apply as a common-law partner if you have lived together continuously for at least 12 months.
