I also received this e-mail, stating that my application is being reviewed and that next steps will be communicated the first seven days of November. I wouldn't panic, only two interview invites so far.

I agree with Peter. Final decision date is 15th Dec, and they usually take a week or 2 to review your interview result. I wouldn't worry. Plus looking at the trend it looks like they have taken Asia first this time around. @afireinside - are you from Asia or based in asia?
