I can't tell you about Germany and EFMP, but generally it takes a long time and frequent phone calls seem to help.

It depends on the urgency of the request your installation EFMP manager should be able to give you a good guesstimate timeline my daughter went through in 2 weeks the first time but updates have taken around 60 days.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Keep calling and checking. Have your command call and check.

I had my EFMP paperwork completed as soon as I arrived in Germany on un-accompanied orders. And roughly 3 weeks later they were completed and was able to amend my orders to accompanied right away! Just continue to be very pro-active and it should be quick. When I say "pro-active'' I mean call the EFMP personnel often. Also, what duty assignment over here are you headed to?
