I submitted my medical paperwork on September 30th. Two days ago, Oct 7th, I had an update on my toolkit: "Complete. Peace Corps has completed your dental review. There are no dental holds on your account at this time."
Today I log on and this came up: "Peace Corps received the results of your physical exam on October 8, 2009. If the program you are nominated for is not scheduled to leave in the next 4 months you may not hear from Medical until the time of departure is closer. Currently those programs scheduled to leave in the next 4 months are being reviewed. For applicants leaving within 4 months Peace Corps may request additional medical information. Please respond quickly to these requests."
My nomination is for June 2010 so I guess this is what everyone refers to your patience being tested by all the waiting! If they don't review your medical packet until 4 months prior to departure date, I won't hear anything again until February or so. Ahhhh!!! (breathe in, breathe out... I just need to remind myself to do that!)
How is everyone else doing on their timeline?
Peace!

Hey! My name is Justine...I also got my "your physical has been received" checkmark on October 8th. I turned in my sent my packet out on the 2nd. Even those small steps are soooo exciting, at least we are getting there :-). So when/where are you nominated? Just curious...I am also getting pretty antsy!
Hey Justine!
I'm nominated for a Business Advising program in francophone West Africa leaving late June 2010. That's all I know for now!
What about you?
Congrats on the dental clear! :) That's crazy you have to wait so long to hear back about the rest tho! Breathing is always a good strategy.
I've got my interview next week! I'm so anxious, but very excited! :)
Well hope you don't have to wait too long, and good luck with everything else! Cheerio.
Thank you very much! I'll keep everyone updated as soon as I hear from them again.
Good luck on your interview next week! Just be yourself and always keep in mind why you're doing this in the first place.
Peace!
I submitted my medical paperwork in July and was medically cleared in August even though I don't leave until June 2010 either! Keep your fingers crossed and maybe you won't have to wait too long!
I am in the same boat you are! I am nominated to leave in June also. I can handle the waiting, but when people ask me how it is going and I have to tell them I am STILL waiting, that is when I get anxious! Thanks for posting your update, it is good to know I am not the only person waiting! Best of Luck
I'm going through the same thing. It's NUTS that my dream is coming true right before my eyes. I got nominated for an assignment in SubSaharan Africa. AIDS and HIV education.
