I don't know if there is a magical number of years before you can move on. If you have a good grasp of the rules, and a good crew, I think 3 or 4 years is about right. Now, if you work a ton of underclass games as WH, that might speed up the process some. As long as you feel comfortable, go for it.
Now, one thing I've heard from other officials is that at times, if you become a WH, it gets harder to advance to the next level. Don't know if that is true or not, just one thing I've heard. Take it with a grain of salt.
