For alumni interviews of local applicants, EA interviewing starts pretty early. Mid to late November really. About that time some RD get completed and sent to us but we're really on a time crunch with the EA kids. The pre-January RD files get shelved until January, usually. Come early Jan (after the app deadline) we get the flood. Feb 15 or so is the official cut off date for interview reports to be in. However, a trickle still goes to New Haven after that.
You also asked "is it common for candidates to score interviews after being wait-listed?"
Some kids are accepted/waitlisted who never get an interview. I can imagine that a regional admissions rep could ask again if someone could meet with a particularly promising WL applicant who didn't get interviewed the first time since there might be time available. The more info the better for Yale.
