anyone hear anything today?
i haven't. my date disappeared on friday as well.
does anyone know what it means if interview was submitted but substatus still says interview requested after many days?
I recently was admitted, and my status stayed on interview requested up until my A call. I did the interview last Tuesday for reference. I don't think it's a sign positive or negative, but make sure you got the submission email from Kira.
