Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about visas, but we're not sure what you mean when you say that visitor visa fees need to be pre-warned. We're also not sure what safeguards you would like to put in place to hold ECOs accountable, and UKVI already has a complaints procedure in place.
