Just minutes after i posted the message, i called up IO and she said something i couldn't believe.
"Your case has been approved". I asked her to repeat it 3 times to just confirm.
Went online to check the status, this is what i found,
"Current Status: Card production ordered.

Feel like i want to jump and scream loud out of heart.
Thanks for this wonderful forum.
Best of luck to everyone.
