Additional Doc TV 

Just a quick one if possible I've been asked to upload an additional document (bank statement) showing over £700 closing balance for my tourist visa I've put about £3k in now, but the trouble is Barclays are an absolute nightmare for wait times on an intermittent statement and likely I won't have it available until Tuesday.

Im just a bit worried they see this as in-action to provide and cancel my application 

Has anyone had similar problems with not getting docs sent in time or been asked and approved? 

Theres thousands going in and out I never keep more than £500 sitting in a shitty current account but its obviously needed for this

Thanks a lot in advance

Kieran Gallacher yes it is clear you need proof in money in your account. Having only coming in then out does not show ypu have money in your account count to spend. It just looks to them like it goes out as fast as it comes in.

If you have online banking it should show just a sceenshot and send or download your own statement. If you can't screenshot take pic with another fone and send to yourself
