I got the approval email this morning from CSC. Thanks for all the warm-hearted people on this forum and I have learned all the critical points of RFE from here. I should have known this forum earlier which might have saved me from REF process and the extra suffering.
I consider my credentials as slightly over the border line (see below). Good luck to all those still waiting.
