HSBC Decision Obtained - meaning?

I submitted my mortgage application online and now status says "Decision Obtained".
They asked for documentary evidences thru post.
Now my question is, how can they reach to a decision without seeing documents first?? I do have my a/c with HSBC but my wife (who is secondary applicant) doesn't bank with them.
I called bank and asked about it and they said they can't disclose decision now until they see the documents (which I'm sending anyway).

Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

You've guessed it - it does not mean you are yet anywhere close to obtaining your mortgage offer.

We also completed an online application with HSBC.
The decision obtained appeared after our AIP was granted.
Hope this helps

You mean Agreement in Principle or full mortgage offer?
I got Agreement in Principle without starting the full mortgage application process.

After Agreement in Principle was given.
I'll have a look at our timeline on the application portal when I get home tomorrow. This should give you some idea of timescale of the online process at HSBC.
