I realize this isn't a question for me directly, but if you've played in tournaments and actually cashed a bunch, they're going to make sure you wait at least a year, possibly a full two, before they'll consider it.
For someone like me who played in a few PGA sectional events (tournaments for club pros) and only signed up for things like State Opens and US Open qualifiers and never really cashed in much of anything, after being away from it for a year, they reinstated my amateur status pretty much instantly.
Reinstatement of Amateur Status at USGA.org
Basically "One or two years" after the last point where you benefited from being a professional, even if that means as a club-pro I got free balls from Titleist.
