The Peace Corps utilizes the
Questionnaire for Peace Corps Volunteer Background Investigation
form (BI form) as authorization from the invited Peace Corps
Volunteer candidate to conduct a background check through the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) or other contract background
investigator of pertinent records pertaining to applicants'
interaction with the judicial system, qualifications, eligibility
and suitability for Peace Corps volunteer service, as well as
information relating to whether a Peace Corps assignment is
consistent with the national interest, as required by the Peace
Corps Act (22 USC §2519). 22 CFR Part 305 sets out the eligibility
and selection standards for Peace Corps service.
Estimated number of BI forms
has decreased (from 13,500 to 4,500) because we are only collecting
information from those who have been invited to serve as Peace
Corps Volunteers. We collected this information from ALL nominated
applicants in the past. Completion time has decreased (from 30min
to 1-2min) because qualified applicants who have been invited to
serve are expected to be able to complete this form in a much
faster time.
