Questions:

  1. PS. in terms of my plan in the UK, how specific it should be? There are any options to explore and I don’t have specific one. I have worked at a UK company 10 months and will join another company soon. I also plan to set up a new business in XX sector in the future, but I don’t have specific timeline. In other reference letters, my potential contribution to the UK is mentioned also in a very generic way.

  2. Do I need to provide evidence to support the statement of LoR2_CTO of the UK company? As I my contribution was limited, the evidence is not that strong.

  3. In terms of commercial success, is the annual revenue of 0.6 million GBP a successful business?

  4. In the past 5 years, I spent almost 3 years in the UK. My significant impact is done before I came to the UK. Will it weaken my application?
