Hank,
The real answer is "it depends".
From my correspondence with ARIN on behalf of one of my customers just a few
months ago:
"Will you be requesting an AS number from ARIN? Under the intent to
multi-home policy, we've been asking customers to first submit a request
for an AS number."
For this particular (new) customer, the entire process was 3 weeks with majority
of the delay getting payment remitted to get the allocation and then the ASN.
My experience with ARIN has always been positive (thank you).
