Hi @iQAi You need to strengthen all criteria.

In MC, salary proof is considered a weak supporting evidence. Apart from salary proof you should aim to have 2-3 more evidence documents.

You need atleast 2 evidence per criteria - need more solid innovation examples in OC1 backed by letters and third-party evidence.

OC2 is about public presence and the evidences you have listed don’t really count. Please refer to the official TN guidelines to go through the examples of evidences accepted and align with those.

Good luck!

It appears you do not have sufficient and compelling evidence to meet the criteria. Read the tech nation guide and add other Examples that show you have been recognised as a leader. Salary increment and product documents is not sufficient.
