It was a long process, full of constantly being asked for more information. Not only that, but also being asked to keep updating my community service and resume. I hope this helps. Good luck to anyone applying, remember to be patient, it just takes time. Also, make sure you are on the same page with your medical doctors. They can cause all kinds of problems if they are not equipped to answer all of the questions the Peace Corps requires. Again, Good Luck, feel free to comment with questions... I will be happy to answer them.
