Hi, so I have an anecdote in defence of Berlin bureaucrats. I lost my wallet with my ID on Saturday. The only way to contact LEA is now form on the site, so I filled that in on Sunday morning and was prepared to wait for ages, but on Wednesday I got an email with appointment on May 14, and a call a few minutes later. On the call I told I was planning a trip to Denmark on May 7, and the Beamter on the other side offered me a Termin on Friday at 13:00. When I arrived it turned out that LEA only works 8- 12 on Fridays, but this particular bureaucrat was so kind as to provide me with an appointment off the schedule so that I would have a Fictionbescheinigung for my travel. Experiencing LEA work like this...its even more than 'Faith in humanity restored'. I'm in total awe.
Ha! I love a good successful story because it makes me hope they rub off on the others and things start working better -- or it's a sign things are just working better!
