Ausländerbehörde question, in how much trouble am I?
I recently got a Ausreiseaufforderung, meaning I have to leave Germany until the middle of August as I have overstayed my student visa. My visa expired in March, but there was no earlier appointment date for the Ausländerbehörde available than the one in the end of June, which was allocated to me back when I arrived last year. All cool at that moment, as I was informed that I am perfectly legal in Germany as I am awaiting my appointment, although my visa expired. Two weeks before the appointment I receive mail (yeah physical mail) that all appointments were cancelled and that we should send our documents by email, with no specified date. I sent all my documents a few days after my cancelled appointment was due (maybe that is a problem?). A few weeks later (a day or two ago) I received the Ausreiseaufforderung.
I guess that the Ausländerbehörde is in utter chaos and that they probably haven't even started processing my documents, or even if they have that they are not synchronized and that they still send me the notice to leave Germany, although I have sent them my documents. Can anyone say in how big of a problem I am and how much will all that last and cost? I will try to contact the Ausländerbehörde as soon as possible, but they were unreachable in the past either by phone or by mail, so I'm not optimistic about that. I already googled some lawyers in my city, that are doing immigration law and will try to tell them my issues and possibly make an appointment. Is there anything else I should do, and what is the ballpark of the prices of lawyers in such simpler cases? I clearly do not want to lose any money due to the inefficient bureaucracy here, but is seems I will have to.

Couldn't you do a Fiktionsbescheinigung? It let's you stay in Germany while you are in a visa process and your current one expired, and as far as I know you can set up emergency appointments for them.
