Did anybody get their CC application put “on hold” AFTER the Video Interview? Thought I bombed it so was going expecting a rejection anyway, so was quite confused by this. I don’t know if I should hold out for any hope, or just let it go lol 😂

You might need to wait for the people who are currently on hokd after application to finish their VI, then you’ll know whether you get an AC
