getOrderHistory Java API not working

I am placing an order using the Java API as shown below:
Order fOrder = s.placeMISOrder(TradeType.BUY, quantity, fEntryPrice);
Here 's' is a custom class developed by me & not relevant to the discussion.

The order gets successfully executed & filled if I monitor it from the UI & appears under Positions.
However if I use the Java API to monitor the status, it seems to give me incorrect status & therefore not helpful in controlling the rest of my java code flow.

The code I am using is as shown below. (connectAPI is the KiteConnect object)
I am exiting the loop after 10 attempts as the API always seems to be getting a status of: PUT ORDER REQ RECEIVED

int count = 0;
fOrder.status = "";
while (!(fOrder.status.equals("COMPLETE") ||
fOrder.status.equals("REJECTED"))) {
Thread.sleep(2000);
System.out.println(fOrder.status);
count += 1;
List orders =
connectAPI.getOrderHistory(fOrder.orderId);
fOrder = orders.get(0);
if (count > 10) {
break;
}
}
