Hi @Wasim Ahmad

Yes, you can change from the permit 104c to a permit 28 for family members of German citizens. The 28 refers to the paragraph of the immigration law which covers this (Aufenthaltsgesetz). How long it will take depends on the particular case load at your local Ausländerbehörde and whether they will need to ask for additional documentation after you submit your application. It is not possible to give a specific period of time for how long it will take.

Best,
