Body: <p>We are trying to use CiviCRM for a registration process that has multiple levels of behind the scenes checks required which we were hoping to track by additional types of 'Registration Status' but seem to have hit a buffer in that there doesn't appear to be any way to specify the starting status for an on-line registration; am I correct in thinking you can't change this somewhere from "Registered" to something else? </p>
  
  <p>We looked at the 'participant approval' option but found the full logic of that doesn't quite work for us as we need information from the corresponding price set at the point of initial submission rather than after the completion of the approval. </p>

  I believe you're correct that the default participant status can't be changed when using the standard event registration process. See discussion at [Default participant status doesn't recognize 'order' value of status](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19395).
