how to import "issue status" from excel into jira?

Question

I know how to import my issues from excel to jira, but my question is, how do I also upload the status (workflow) into Jira? I have a mix of issues (in excel) that are open and also closed.

How do I tell jira to create my issues but then close them as well?

after doing some reading, it looks like "status" is not available via the import method for a non admin.  These were old postings on jira community, but I was hoping jira would have added it by now.

It should be offering you "status", unless you've already mapped it!

this is where I am stuck. When I map my status column from csv, what mapping column am I selecting in jira?  example

excel                                     Jira

my_status -----------------> ? (not sure what this field is called)
