Timeframes vary considerably depending on case complexity and the requesting state. Provisional arrest can last up to 60 days while the requesting country submits formal extradition documents. Once a formal request is filed, court proceedings in Abu Dhabi (where federal extradition matters are typically heard) may take several months, sometimes longer if appeals are pursued. Cases involving GCC states often proceed faster due to expedited regional cooperation frameworks. Simultaneously challenging the underlying Interpol notice at the CCF can influence timing, although a successful deletion does not by itself end extradition proceedings based on a formal request.
