Hello Everyone,
I’m presently gathering documents for my application, and I would appreciate it if you could help review some of my evidence to determine if it’ll be tenable for the exceptional promise application.
I am involved in cybersecurity, and most of my evidence is redacted due to the NDA that I signed with the company. As a result, I am not even allowed to mention the client’s name, let alone share the raw codes or files of the projects I developed.
