Why there is not interviews on GradCafe? Last year there have been a lot of interviews by the second week of Jan.

Submitted my application (Viterbi CS Gen) on 14th December and paid the app fee. Got an email saying it was successfully received. However, got an email today saying "This is a friendly reminder that you have an application in-progress, and that the application deadline is approaching.". Anyone else experiencing this? Note: International applicant who hasn't yet uploaded passport and financial docs. Could this be the reason? Although the portal shows "completed" on my application.
