I'm submitting my first build for TestFlight beta review and after creating a group, adding 4 team members adding my build, unclicking the box to denote that I'll need login info to test the app, I click "submit for review."
The status at the top of iTunes Connect is still Ready to Submit.
Am I doing something wrong here or is the issue with Apple? All proper docs and Test Information has been filled out as well.
Thanks
Apple finally admit there is a problem:

1 - many teams are reporting the problem has cleared overnight.
2 - However FWIW the status board is still indicating a problem.
Waiting for review means that apple team will review your app before allowing you to submit on TestFlight for public testing. It will take around 24~48 hours for them to review your app. After if your app is approved, you can submit on TestFlight and create public link for anyone with the link as tester.
In order to Submit an app for review you'll need to add external users from the TestFlight > Builds screen. Select the build you want to submit, and add Individual Testers from this screen. As long as at least one of them is external a series of dialog boxes will walk you through the rest of the submission.
The status of the build should go to ready after some time. Sometimes, this happens as fast as 15 minutes after uploading but can sometimes take 1 hour or longer. After the processing finishes, the build will become available to select for TestFlight betas and app submission. Show activity on this post.
You can view and manage tester feedback in App Store Connect. Visit your app's TestFlight page and click Crashes or Screenshots in the Feedback section in the left side navigation. You can filter your feedback view by build numbers, app versions, devices, iOS versions, or tester groups.
Appears to be a bug on Apple's side with several cases reported. Active discussion ongoing here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/288574#288574
No known workarounds at this time. No ETA for fix at this time.
Bugs have been filed with Apple, support has been called.
Logging out and back in doesn't seem to help. Clearing local cache, using Safari, etc. doesn't seem to help.
UPDATE: Apple now showing issue on system status page: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/
