In my experience, the length of the blackout is determined more by the old service providers than the new ones. We've had a few that wait one to two weeks after wiring the funds to send a data file. Then, when you get the file, it may or may not be usable and it may or may not tie to the amount sent. If the old firm does their job correctly, a 5 week blackout is ridiculous. If they don't, it may take that long to sort out the mess they created. As already mentioned, there is no valid reason to hold new deferrals during the blackout.
