We've completed the final step before receiving our invitation; a 30 minute phone call from our Placement Officer. She was incredibly nice and just wanted to review some topics discussed in the initial interview; make sure we were open to various regions (asking about our initial request to not go to Mexico: friends and family live/travel there... it wouldn't be the PC experience if we had visitors every week!) and the challenges of serving as a married couple (Frankly, I think it will be a bit easier).
We're happy to say that everything looks in order, and our PO will let us know our new program/region in a week or so... At this point we could be going anywhere, but our PO mentioned that they were looking at Spanish speaking regions due to my Spanish skills. Because married couples must be approved by the host country before sending the invite, it may take another few weeks before we receive that lovely blue envelope. But, all is well!
Congrats! I am so happy to hear that everything is in order and all the pieces are in place. I know there's a bit more waiting to go but it sounds like that waiting is going to end with an invite! I can't wait to hear where you guys end up!
