[rurffy]

Hi,
Please I would like to know if you guys thing I might qualify for this visa, I know its hard because you are not Tech nation but I am only looking for advise.

Ok. This is my situation , BSC from UK university, MSC from UK university. Have over 13 Professional IT Certifications, worked in uk for 2 Years (Under post Study scheme). Moved back to my country , I am now a founder of an IT startup – IT Cloud solutions company. I am a CTO(Chief technology officer) in a college and member board of director in another college.

Do you guys think I stand a chance?

No , You don't stand chance. You have to read the guide and then access yourself how many mandatory and qualifying criteria you meet.

First of all you need to check this document:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 4_2017.pdf , particularly, page 31.

You must have the technical skills, mentioned in this document, you need to try. Only Tech City UK will decide are you an exceptional promise or not.
Also, very important is to have strong personal statement and good recommendations letters. They will support your application even if your startup is far from being unicorn.

Its funny how you just concluded that he do not qualify. - It seems you are planing to apply through this route aswell . I am also intrested. This techcity seems the easiest of the 4 or 5 endorsing body. i might try my luck.

I really want to try and see. I think the main problem with this visa is people are scared to try. lol They probably dont see them selves as exceptional and here is the problem. If you look at the criteria and you meet them , i dont see why you shouldnt have this visa. Ok i will try and apply this month. i will gather all my document and post my progress to you guys. if anyone is applying too please lets come together and share ideas. Thanks guys
