With all of your suggestions, I hope I will be able to get the endorsement.

I would recommend reading the TN guide a couple of times

You have too many letters of recommendation, only 3 are needed
You need to choose two optional criteria to use, which ones are you planning for?
Do you have evidence from outside your company for MC?

I’m choosing all 3 in optional criteria.
For MC what else evidence you would suggest ?

I’d like to ask you again to take a good look at the guide.
You need to select two optional criteria categories and have at least two evidences in each one. Which so you plan to use?
The guide also has examples of MC evidences

Hi @Arif_Aditto

Firstly, like @hsafra mentioned you need to select only two OCs out of the 4 as per the guidelines. Please go through the official guidelines and segregate which ones are you exactly selecting and what evidence under each are you considering.

Irrespective of what you chose, as per your current selection of evidences: both salary proof and reference letters are accepted but insufficient evidence to prove any criteria as per the official guidelines. You need stronger and more valid evidence to meet the criterias.

MC:

  1. Do the news clippings and TV news mention your name or cover you as the product leader and its impact?
  2. Ensure you also add other valid evidences like company incorporation and shareholding documents to prove your ownership, revenue reports, etc. just an audit report alone doesn’t demonstrate you as a leader in the digital technology sector.
  3. Bank statements are not really an evidence: if you are trying to demonstrate high salary, offer letter and payslip is a better evidence.
  4. Only screenshots won’t suffice : you need to provide validation that these are indeed your achievements.

Your whole MC seems self-claims - TN needs third party evidence to validate your self-documentation.

Only 3 LORs are accepted.

Please go through the official guidelines to structure better and more relavant.
