How long does all of this take?
This is very difficult to answer. I recently was contacted by a person who had moved to Oklahoma from Pennsylvania. The person in Pennsylvania had been told that it would be at least 18 months before he would see the judge after he had made his request for a hearing. Remember that requesting a judge to hear your case is the third step in the process. Oklahoma was taking about 6-8 months before the judge would hear the case. My advice was to request a transfer of the file to Oklahoma because the person now resides in Oklahoma, and it would be a lot quicker. My advice ended up being correct, and the person received a favorable decision within four months of the transfer. You may not shop where you wish to have your case heard, but the transfer was appropriate in this situation. I tell my clients that the first three stages take about six months each. The appeals council and all appeals thereafter, usually take more than a year each.
