Guys
I checked with one of my friends who received a video interview invite (in R1). And yes, at a later date, he received a Skype interview invite as well. So, I believe there is nothing to sweat about it. The fact that you have received a video interview invite shows that the school kind of likes you!
And yes, regarding the apprehension that many people had that receiving a video invite isn't that great when compared to getting a video+real, I'll say getting a video invite is far better than getting nothing. Let's just do it step by step and appreciate what we have.

I believe I read a few cases in Round 2 where people got an admission interview prior to having done the video interview. It was mentioned that people who got both at the same time were seen as "competitive candidates." If anyone needs help with their prep for admission/video interview, PM me. I have a document listing every question that people shared on forums during R1 and R2 for both video and admissions interview.
