Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking 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.
