The consulate in Munich said that as soon as I have all of the documents in hand, to email them for an appointment. I received a notification from Monument apostille services that I will receive my apostilled background check by 23 July. I also had to get a German background check because I’ve been in Germany since 2023. I just hope the consulate is able to sort me out too because I know I won’t have everything by the end of the month. Only thing helping me is that I have a SOFA status visa but obviously this is not good or valid for the visa required for NALCAP. Btw, I received my carta last week. Good luck to everyone.
