[mothered]

I called them again and they told me to wait a bit because my case was "pending",

Does anyone know what that means?

I realize your SE has resulted In a successful outcome but for future reference, when you receive a response of this nature (or some variant), your next course of action always depends on their reply.

In short, It serves very little purpose trying to draw a conclusion based on Implications.
By the way, good work with your SE.
