Last and sad update. I got my rejection letter on 11/11 around 10:57.
Sadly my story ends here but I wish all the best to other candidates, I hope you’ll not experience what I had.

I hope so! The norm these days seem to be 2 weeks between transfer and decision from the above comments.
Sorry to hear that, did they give detailed reasons?
