Standard CCF processing times range from 4 to 9 months for the initial Requests Chamber decision, though complex cases involving political persecution claims or extensive documentation may take longer. Urgent requests for provisional measures — such as adding a country flag to limit circulation — can be processed within weeks if properly substantiated. If the Requests Chamber rejects the challenge, an appeal to the Appeals Chamber typically adds another 6–12 months. Throughout this period, the notice generally remains active unless provisional relief is granted.
