Thank you! I applied for promise
Since you applied for exceptional promise, I am suprised at the feedback. For promise you need at least 2 evidence and one evidence for the mandatory criteria. So point out to them that you provided evidence based on what is stated in the tech nation guide and as a promising talent the evidence you provided demonstrates that you have the potential to become a future lead. You need to now explain the evidence in details and how it shows you have potential. For the optional criteria, explain that this are work you did outside your immediate employment. To be honest, I think tech nation needs to clarify if optional criteria two means your contribution has to be outside your skill, that part of the guide has become ambiguous. Explain to them how the evidence you have provided advances the sector.
If there is any additional evidence that was not considered also point it out. You need to show the importance of your document, and for the fellowship programme you need to demonstrate it importance and explain that it is consistent as it is a year programme that you only provided your most recent contribution based on the limitation of three pages.

What do you guys think about this pattern?
Has anybody gotten more than 5 edits, and still gotten endorsed?
Rejected today due to insufficient evidence for Global Talent.
Feedback was that I didn’t have sufficient evidence for both of my optional criteria.
The truth is, the sample evidence list on TN website is really just a guide. The assessors intuitively raise the bar, as time goes on and they see more impressive applications. What got endorsed 6 months ago might be considered insufficient today.

That’s what I noticed too. I used someone that got endorsed for exceptional talent as a guide to my exceptional promise route and got rejected.

In the next couple of years, the bar for getting endorsed by Tech Nation would be astronomical.

Please has anyone gotten feedback from tech nation since 23rd December. I had my second edit on 23rd and nothing has changed till this moment. I submited my application on 29th November.

Compliments of the season to all here!
Have you seen any statement from them?
There’s a banner on the TechNation Guide page — the one that has the document checklist and sample evidences.
Right, I see. It says: ‘Please Note: Tech Nation’s Visa office will be closed over the Christmas & New Year period from 23rd December to 3rd January. Applications will remain open and be processed within official timeframes.’
They still process applications within this people, I know people who got endorsed around the 31st of December last year

Still waiting to hear back from TN.
Edits on 31 Dec and 1 Jan look quite strange, considering Christmas break and weekend.
