HELP NEEDED WITH DOCUMENT LIMIT - Exceptional Promise Stage 1

Stage 1
1

Hello all,

Date submitted : 21st Jan
Response Received : 30th Jan

I am a technical applicant applying for exceptional promise route as a Cybersecurity professional. I submitted 8 main pieces of evidence (3 MC, 2 OC 3, and 3 OC2). However, for some of these, I also included separate supporting documents (e.g. supporting letters and a report) to strengthen the main evidence. I attached these as separate PDFs in the email. Now all my PDFs that are evidence related total 12. Which is more than 10(note that 4 are supporting documents).

Tech Nation has responded saying that I submitted more than 10 pieces of evidence and asked me to confirm which 10 I wish to send. My understanding was that these supporting documents were not intended to be counted as standalone evidence, but rather as supplementary material for the main evidence pieces.

My questions are(regarding the supporting documents):

  1. Should I upload them to a public google drive and link it in the main application evidence file for each evidence?
  2. ⁠Should I merge them into the original evidence PDF file which would automatically make it more than 3 A4 pages?
  3. ⁠Do the log part that shows signature and document origin count within the 3 A4 Page limit?
  4. ⁠Regarding the 3 A4 page limit, is it 3 pages of a pdf or 3 sides of an A4 page which would be 6 pages of a pdf

Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by response received 30th of February?

I meant January. My bad.

4

3 sides or an A4 paper
Not 6 it’s clearly stated in the guideline

Find a way to merge the extra supporting letters into the evidence document
And make it not more than 3 pages
Anything more would go against tech nation guidelines
