What did you do? Get a clearance to a fix within his sector? Details
would be appreciated.


He actually issued the clearance all the way to my dest. However, it
was a climb maintain...if not on top by... to VFR on top clearance.
Apparently if he didn't do the VFR on top in the clearance he would
have to wait for the clearance.


And if you were not on top by the specified altitude, you'd have a normal
IFR clearance to your destination at that altitude, something he said he
couldn't do.
