Below is the email nomination that Jessie and I received today. Hopefully this will answer any questions you may have about the rest of the process.
Dear Jessica and Scott,
I am pleased to nominate you to be considered for the following Peace Corps assignment:
(Scott) Health Extension
Program Number - 155 09 044 G2 /A
Region - Central Asia
Departing - Late September 2009
(Jessie) English Teacher Trainer
Program Number - 191 09 044 G2 /B
Region - Central Asia
Departing - Late September 2009
Please remember that although I am recommending you for this program, this is not a guarantee that this is the region where you will invited to serve in. I am sending your file to our Placement Unit in Washington, DC, where several required screenings take place and where assignment matches for qualified nominees are finalized. You continue to play a crucial role in these matters. We cannot complete our review process without all requested documentation (medical, legal, or references) and submitting your documents promptly keeps your file moving forward. A processing delay could prevent you from serving in the assignment area, timeframe, and/or region that we have discussed. Also, as we discussed, any volunteer experience you gain between now and departure would only serve to improve your competitiveness and productivity within this project.
As I mentioned during your interview, medical screening begins at this time. The Office of Medical Services (OMS) will contact you regarding medical/dental examinations. Please schedule your exams as soon as you receive the OMS forms and submit all requested information promptly. If you have questions about the examinations or related matters, a Representative in OMS can assist you.
Once you have been medically and legally qualified, your Placement Officer will match you to a specific assignment based on the requirements of the host country and any special medical accommodation needs you may have. Then he/she will send you an invitation to serve as a Volunteer. Your invitation will include, among other things, a passport application. It is essential that you complete and submit this application promptly. If you do not already possess a regular passport, please secure a copy of your birth certificate immediately. The Peace Corps passport application must include one of these documents. A delay in submitting your passport application may prevent you from departing for Peace Corps service on schedule.
An invitation is your official offer from Peace Corps, and we recommend you not make any major commitments or changes, such as moving out of your residence or leaving your job, until you receive and accept an invitation. Your final possible invitation date for this program is August 1, 2009. After you have been medically qualified for 3-4 weeks, you may contact the Placement Office in regards to your invitation. I am happy to nominate you for Peace Corps service and will continue to be available to you. Best of luck in becoming a Volunteer; please do let me know where you are going once you know!

Heeeello -- I just received my nomination for the Peace Corps for the same health extension program in Central Asia. I was doing some research online and came across ur site. Similarly, I told them I was open to going anywhere, and also, I am not thrilled with the region. *Sigh* What can ya do? It's nice to see I wasn't the only one who felt that way though. LOL.
