When using DataWatch API, the GetStatus() method does not give correct status

I used the DataWatch API to call the DataWatch process from a .NET program. I could call the correct process but I could not get the correct status from after the process is called.  I think it's because the GetStatus method does not wait for the StartProcess() method to finish.

I used the following code, I had to use Thread.Sleep to pause to get the status but then it is not reliable.  Is there any other way to get the correct status? I need to pass the status to the calling program to show whether the call is a success or failure.

Thanks for you help!

if (m_bLocal)
                        strTrackingID = PumpAPI.StartProcess(processName);
                    else
                    {
          

                        strTrackingID = WebService.StartProcess(processName);
                       
                        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
                        int response = WebService.GetStatus(strTrackingID);
                        switch (response)
                        {
                            case 2:
                                jobStatus = true;
                                break;
                            case 3:
                                jobStatus = false;
                                break;
                            default:
                                jobStatus = false;
                                break;
                        }
                    }
