Flutter String Problem in equality comparison - flutter

Question

Problem
This is my code in Flutter. As you can see, on line 33 the value of type is 'ngo' as is printed on line 34 using print statement. But, in the if block, the correct block does not get executed. I can't understand what's the issue. Please help.
main.dart
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:xyz/homescreen.dart';
import 'package:xyz/ngo_details.dart';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
Future main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([
DeviceOrientation.portraitUp,
]);
await SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([]);
var _homeWidget = await checkUserLogin();
//Timer(Duration(seconds: 3), () {runApp(MyApp(rootWidget: _homeWidget));});
runApp(MyApp(rootWidget: _homeWidget));
}
Future<Widget> checkUserLogin() async {
final firestoreInstance = Firestore.instance;
final curUser = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser();
if (curUser != null) {
firestoreInstance
.collection('users')
.document(curUser.uid)
.get()
.then((value) {
if (!value.exists) {
FirebaseAuth.instance.signOut();
return HomeScreen();
} else {
String type = value.data['type'];
print(type);
if (type == 'ngo') {
return NGODetailsScreen(user: curUser);
}
else if (type =='user') {
return NGODetailsScreen(user: curUser);
}
}
print('no cases selected');
return Container(color: Colors.yellow,);
});
} else {
return HomeScreen();
}
print('return outer');
return Container(color: Colors.red,);
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
final firestoreInstance = Firestore.instance;
final rootWidget;
MyApp({this.rootWidget});
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
title: 'Charity for Everyone',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: rootWidget,
);
}
}
Output :
Expected results: NGODetailsScreen should be called after outputting 'ngo' on line 34
Actual results: Container with red background is executed even when line 34 outputs 'ngo'

Thanks #jamesdlin for pointing out the solution.
Basically I changed
firestoreInstance
.collection('users')
.document(curUser.uid)
.get()
.then((value)
to
var value = await firestoreInstance
.collection('users')
.document(curUser.uid)
.get();
and it worked.
