TLDR : Answer Summary

The application process duration for family members under a German Residence Permit can vary. It's essential to have necessary documentation, such as marriage licenses and birth certificates for dependents and spouses. The nationality of the applicants does not impact the required documents.

Passports don't matter you just need things like marriage licenses and birth certificates for dependents and spouses.
