For R1 peeps who did not get interview invites yet, does your application still say "Submitted" or does it say complete?

I received an interview invite already as well (R2). Surprised it came that fast but not complaining! I actually got the generic thank you for applying email the day after my interview invite. Good luck to everyone.

Nice to see R2 invites going out. Congrats everybody! Does the application status change from 'Submitted' to anything else prior to receiving interview invites? Thanks!

Got an invite! Wasn't expecting to hear back so soon. I am pretty excited.

Received an invite too! Very pleasantly surprised to see it come this early, but looks like will I be in LA late January! (I submitted mine on December 30th, for those wondering)

Just an observation: The applications submitted close to the deadline were reviewed first and the invites were sent... I submitted on 1st Jan, got the generic mail yesterday... So they are following the LIFO ..... Is it that those interviewed with get their results along with the Round 1 deadline (28 Jan) ?

Not necessarily. I saw from another forum that someone who also got an interview invite today submitted his/her application in mid-December.

This is just my two cents. But I think they do a quick overview of all the applications and invite the people they really want (Super Stars) for an interview. Before doing a second round of in depth reviews and see who they want to interview. (This is done in each round.) I think the best way to check this would be to see if the people that got offered $$ in the first round had all been invited to an interview before the generic email went out (during R1).
