    Hi Oto. Thanks for this video. I am currently experiencing bank statement concerns with my study visa application right now. As at the time of my application, the rate of pounds on oanda was 966. I used 1050 naira to calculate my proof of fund so I was above the required amount. However, my application is still in process and will soon be three weeks since I made my application. During this waiting period, I have just been issued a scholarship from my school (which was not included in my ca).
    Right now, the oanda rate is above 1050 naira and my bank balance is reading below the required amount. I’m so scared cus I feel now will be a decision period for the Ukvi. I’m so concerned the current rate will affect the decision. Really don’t know what to do. I have contacted my school to ask if they can update my cas with the Ukvi to show that I have just been issued a scholarship ( cus that will reduce the amount of money required in my bank account). Do you have and advice on what else I can do ?
    Thank you.

He has a joint account with my mom and in this joint account there's a large transaction that came in and then out the same day because she's currently helping my 91 year old grandfather sell a property.
