Your profile looks ok for promise, however, some of the evidence you have listed doesn’t fit any criteria, specifically 7 and 8. Best to list your evidence based on the criteria you are selecting.

Ok thanks. Now 7 and 8 are to prove continuous learning. You think it’s not necessary?

Continuous learning was removed as a criteria a year ago. You should follow the most recent tech nation guide.

Guys, is it advisable to have a reference letter on a plain paper not on company letter head?
There is a CTO of a top bank who wants to reference me but problem is he can’t use banks letter head paper.
Is this acceptable ?
it is best to use a letterhead. Is the bank a digital bank? It may not be considered a digital led technology company.
Thanks @Francisca_Chiedu .
Guys please what’s best answer to this question on the application form?
“Are you applying directly for Global Talent or Switching from another visa category?”
I’m in the UK on Tier4 visa
Thanks guys
BTW, git hub contribution is not sufficient to prove innovation.

According to the guide:
You can switch to the Global Talent visa whilst in the UK on another visa, however you cannot apply to switch if you’re currently in the UK in one of the following circumstances:
So, if it’s your case, you should leave the UK before applying and select Switching from another visa category
Not really my situation as am on a Fulltime tier 4 student visa
Two options to choose from base on the question on the application form.
Global talent visa route
Switch to other visa category
I think you are switching from another visa category. Are a full-time student?
@Adeyinka_Ojo fulltime student bro.
I have submitted my application. Fingers cross
Distribution of evidence -
MC. 3 references form CTOs
OC1. I. Mentorship reference, 2. Volunteer reference 3. GitHub for public repo showing my contribution/contributions on stackoverflow flow
