what are the rumors

This is a complete rumor and is probably not true. Just wait until your decision comes out before you celebrate or mourn, obvi. But if your address shows on the application status page, you’re in. If it says “update application” or something, you’re deferred. If it’s none of those and just the checklist, you’re rejected. But this is complete gossip and I wouldn’t read into it. Also, I’ve heard people say that no address also means you got in? It just... makes no sense.

Wait I thought addresses were there on my status page since the day I got my portal..? Do they take down the address if they decide you're not good enough?

I have the address without any update button (what exactly even is the update button). It says verify address and has my permanent address and mailing address listed both underneath there on the side next to my application checklist, but I thought that was there since day 1 (I might be mistaken).

My address was on my status page when I first checked, but when I checked it today, it was gone. And I got rejected. So it seems that the theory/rumor was actually true!

Did you get in?
