ARTCC Inactivity Tranfers

How long does it usually take for a ARTCC Transfer Request to get approved?

I have been inactive for quite some time and have decided to give it a go once again now that I have graduated college! Hooray!!

I am not in a hurry or anything, but just "eager" to start controlling again. P.S. I did a transfer request to Salt Lake City ARTCC.

Thanks!

Steve,
Thanks for your interest in joining ZLC ARTCC. The time it takes to accept or reject a transfer requests varies depending on various circumstances. The first thing that occurs is a persons VATSIM record is reviewed which could include how many times a person has requested a transfer and why and any issues from other ARTCC/FIR. Staff meeting are sometimes arranged to review a record and make recommendations. I would also like to mention that your post makes it sound like your request has been languishing without any action being taken. You only requested a transfer yesterday and it sometimes takes a few days to be approved. Please be patient and the staff will get with you soon.

Thanks for your response Jon. As I stated in my initial post, I am not in a hurry ... I was simply curious. I am in no way trying to be pushy or anything. I am sorry if I came off this way!

I look forward to your response.

SM.
