Amex application "In progress" status. Approved?

[orestrus]

Hi, my credit is only 5 months old. I applied for PRG and Delta cards on Wednesday evening. As I don't currently have FICO generated, Amex requested copy of my stab. I complied, and today the status changed from "Submit additional documentation" to "In Progress". What does that suppose to mean? Perhaps ppl from documents department verified my pay stab and moved application over to credit analyst? Can I remotely now hope for an approval?

It can swing both ways.. The good thing it is not showing declined so that is a good thing.  Keep checking the app. status and let us know results.  Will keep fingers crossed for you.

Good luck orestrus

Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck with their whole "In progress" nonsense. Typically, it's just a convoluted way of telling you "Sorry pal, not right now". However, you may have better luck, if it was just a matter of initially needing further verification. Hope it works out!

Anyone else with similar experience?
