A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dismission is an old-fashioned word that means:

  1. The act of dismissing someone or something, like a jury or a group of people.
  2. The removal of someone from their job or position.
  3. A decision that a legal case cannot be continued.

Examples:

  • The judge ordered the dismission of the jury after they were unable to reach a verdict.
  • The company announced the dismission of several employees due to budget cuts.

In the third example, a legal case is being dismissed because it cannot continue.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
