Slated to begin in mid-September and run through July. I haven't heard anything as to when the exact dates are quite yet.

Thanks y'all! And to those of you in Colombia -- let's arrange some visits!!

Alrighty y'all, I received some good news this morning... I'M GOING TO VENEZUELA!!!

Yep. Still waiting on Venezuela.

Yep. I guess I'll just continue to sit tight and anxiously await a decision.

Emailed the program advisor for South America yesterday. She said decisions for Venezuela are still pending. I don't even know what to take from that!

I know a lot of South America is still waiting -- I'm still waiting on Venezuela! And Shogun1, I have similar concerns. With all of the violence in Caracas, I'm really nervous as to what's going to happen with my program as well! As far as I know, they haven't pulled out the current Fulbrighters already there, so that's a good sign in my book.

I'm right there with you. This is taking foreverrrrr.

I'm hoping our decisions will come soon!

Hey y'all-- Congrats to everyone that found out today! I applied to Venezuela as an ETA (I think I'm the only one on this forum), and I heard back from the South America program manager on a timeline for decisions. It may apply to broader South American applicants? Not sure, but I figured I'd put it out there as a PSA.

I'm a finalist to an ETA Venezuela...now wondering if that's still gonna happen...

Thank you! I'm really excited by the prosepect of spending time there. I've been interested in U.S.-Latin America politics for a while now, and I love studying U.S.-Cuba and U.S.-Venezuela relations the most. We'll have to see what happens! Colombia should be fascinating as well! If we both make it through, we'll have to arrange a visit!
