I would consider setting the us5 portion to a variable like list_id and api_key because it can change from user to user. For example, my list is us6

I would consider adding 'interests' => $interests, where $interests may be built like this:
// Build the $interests array
$interests = [];
$interestArr = isset($_POST['interests']) && is_array($_POST['interests']) ? $_POST['interests'] : [];
foreach ($interestArr as $id) {
$interests[$id] = true;
}

I would consider using $_POST['email'] because 1) I'm not sure what emailname is, and 2) it's a good practice to have your email input with the name="email" for autofilling purposes

Why pending instead of subscribed? The reason I'm using this file is to subscribe users with ajax without the required double opt-in, so subscribed status is perfect for my use case.

I usually see these constants in ALL_CAPS_CASE, but I guess that's a preference thing.
