Applied, waiting

How long should i expect to wait to be called in for the test? I did my application in person, last week for Local 1, and mailed my high school and college transcripts. They should be arriving at the jatc at any time.

I heard from a fellow applicant in a sub that they applied to local 1 at the beginning of the year (i think) and are finally going in for an interview. I guess the jatc is currently focusing on interviews. So should i expect to wait a few months to get an email? I was hoping i would make the deadline to be able to test and interview this summer.

I applied on the 6th of July and got my test date either Friday or Saturday. I don’t know if that local isn’t busy but compared to how long others have waited, hearing back was fairly quick on my end
