As a current Peace Corps nominee I read the Peace Corps blogs daily. Looking to see what the timelines have been for other nominees. The following is my own experience so far, which I hope will be helpful to others who are waiting.
06/03/2011 Submitted Peace Corps Application
06/15/2011 Sent in Peace Corps further information packet
06/28/2011 Peace Corps Interview with recruiter
09/15/2011 Nominated for Health Extension slot departing July 2012
10/21/2011 Mailed in Medical packet
11/25/2011 Dental Cleared
11/28/2011 Medical Cleared
So now I wait, and wait, but wait I received information on 1/13/2012 that I should hear from the placement office within three to five weeks. They are currently working on those nominees that are departing this spring. I am grateful for the tidbit of information to help me practice our Peace Corps virtue of patience. It is both exciting and hard at the same time, a new chapter in my life is waiting to be written. I am looking forward to the challenge, the learning, and being able to contribute in a community. To make a difference at a more basic level.
Thanks for reading thus far, I will keep you all posted as to my progress.
