Dealing with the Ausländerbehörde lately was absolutely abysmal. You have two options, paper mail or fax. But faxes arrive in the post office and need to be sorted first so it can take 2-3 days for the fax to arrive at the right person in the same fucking building.

It's horrendous.

Sound like a nightmare. I thought only Japan were still using fax.

Fax is used a lot by lawyers because you get a paper which says the message has been received. This paper is accepted at court. It provides this much cheaper and faster than the Post office. No electronic mechanism does this. At least nothing widely adopted.
