Peace Corps Mail Update
Due to national security efforts to ensure the delivery of safe mail, the Peace Corps is experiencing significant delays in receiving mail through the U.S. Postal System. This includes mail that may date as far back as October 1, 2001.
In addition, all first-class U.S. Postal System mail addressed to the Peace Corps continues to be sent for processing for decontamination before it is distributed. This includes express mail, certified mail and registered mail.
For these reasons, if you have sent materials to the Peace Corps via regular mail and are concerned about their delivery, we recommend you resend those materials either by faxing them or by Federal Express. If you are sending materials for the first time, we also recommend sending these materials by fax or Federal Express, until security issues with the U.S. Postal System mail delivery are resolved.
Special Information
For Peace Corps Volunteer applicants, Peace Corps employment, and Crisis Corps:

Applying -- We encourage all people who are interested in applying to become a Peace Corps Volunteer to use the electronic application, which is available on this site at www.peacecorps.gov/volunteer/apply/.

Sending medical materials to the Peace Corps for the first time -- If you are mailing materials for the first time, please send them via Federal Express or fax.

We look forward to working with your application.

Dear Peace Corps
In early April, I applied for a Programming and Training Officer's position here in Micronesia. The Vacancy number was/is PC4-090w. Your confirmation correspondence to me stated that you would make the selection within 90 days. Ninety days will be as of Monday the fifth; a little more than 24 hours from now and I have heard absolutely nothing from Peace Corps.
I assume that it is your practice to notify applicants of the results of your selection process; that would be a nice touch.
Could you give me an official yes or no? e-mail would be just fine.
Thank You

Michael - I feel your pain ... the process is terrible. However, you have posted your request to a private, unofficial web site for those connected to PCV service. You'll need to contact the PC office, not this web site. Also, you can go to the PC web site (www.peacecorps.gov) to find vacancy status and contact information.
