Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you want certain people whose visas have expired to be able to apply for the Health and Care visa. However it is not clear who precisely you want this to apply to. It is also not clear how the ask of this petition is different from the existing eligibility criteria for the Health and Care visa. You can read more about the criteria here: https://www.gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa.
You could have a petition calling for an amnesty for undocumented migrants who are eligible for the Health and Care visa, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
You might also like to sign this petition which calls for a related action:
