Hello,
I just applied for Exceptional Talent and after this started to read this forum as have a feeling that I’ll fail with 100% confidence.
Positive:
17 years of commercial experience.
5 References:
- from secretary general of Interpol (non-technical)
- from high profile official from ministry of foreign affairs (partically technical)
- CEO & frounders of few startups I worked with (non-technical)
- VP of engineering (industry expert)
OC3: - owned creative hub which offered IT courses, organized investments events, provided free cources for war veterans etc. So high social impact
- initiated devleopment of the IT free conomical zone in my country to create best tax and legal environment for high-tech startups
Both have interviews and media mentions (however all video interviews have almost 0 views on YouTube becuase they were broadcast TV so impossible to prove audience)
Evidence of MC: google analytics, screenshots from products, from Jira, technical documentation - architecture diagrams etc. videos - including address to nation from country president in which he promotes our product
Negative:
- due high load at work didn’t have enough time and provided evidence only for 2 projects so most of references left wihtout supporting evidence
- used AI to fix grammar and styling mistakes as didn’t pay an attention that this is not allowed. And now have a feeling that it’s easy to see.
- wrote terrible statement - boring, non-informative and looking like average non-sense marketing material instead of real statements I saw here in forum threads.
What do you think? How high is the chance of approval? Can this issues be fixed during appeal? And if not - when I’ll reapply, will it be the same reviewer or different and will he see my previous application? Will my previous applicatin hurt a new one?
Thanks for your feedbacks in advance.
