tbdu, Yes, I would like to know the same.

Seems like a larger chunk of Indian R2 applicants have been put into the WL.\

Not just Indian

Thing is since many Indian applicants apply, it appears that many Indians are FE but it may not be the case

does anyone still have the 'Congratulations' invite box in their portal after already having had the interview? it's been a week for me... any idea if the portal changes after the interview report is submitted or not necessarily?

To my understanding you received the congratulations once the interviewer submits their notes which is generally within 24 hours of the interview.

what’s FE?

Oh sorry I just read above - Yes they spoilt for choice with Indians and so they want to see the full range of what is available before making firm decisions. I believe that’s why my Chinese applicant was asked to hang on until round two to see if they wanted to interview her. Thankfully she has other offers from M7.

Hm.. mine says Congratulations you have been selected to interview… etc. so the same blue box from when invites came out. This is meant to change after report submission?

­So sorry - I thought you meant you got a congratulations you finished your interview message. I havent asked my clients about CBS on this point but yes CBS should let you know of that in some way that the interview notes have been filed.
