From your Yahoo group; try "Add" (as opposed to "Invite").
"Invite" requires a .com address.
That was my experience and solution.
My invitation was confirmed received about 12 hours ago and I'm patiently waiting for next step. I see over 200 new groups were added just yesterday, so the transfer agents will be busy!
Hope this helps,
Alan
[Moderator note: The groups.io instructions clearly state to send an invitation.]

Susan,
Could you advise? My subscription email address to our yahoo group was
different from the one I used to join groups.io
That doesn't matter in the slightest.
... and reissued the invitation but the status box still says no
invitation is being processed or completed.
The prior steps of setting up the transfer set up the automation to
expect an invitation from the group name you specified. So once the
invitation is received that status notice should change promptly (from
"Make sure you have sent an invite to your group for the user
[email protected] ..." to "We've received the invite ..."
I can only think of two possibilities here: a typo when you entered the
address into the Yahoo Group's Invite page, or Yahoo is backlogged in
sending out Invitations. Notwithstanding the possible uptick in
Invitations I'm skeptical of a backlog, as even Yahoo's automation
should be able to handle that.
Have a look at the screenshots in GMF's step-by-step and see if anything
seems out of place compared to what you are seeing. Then let us know.
