    I would assume that is indeed successful.

    I would say it's successful unless it's your birthday  in the first week of May.

    They run application anti-fraud checks but these are usually real time or overnight batch jobs. 
    However, any credit provider can reduce your credit limit, suspend or close your credit account on demand.
