What is the risk if I voluntarily travel to the US while a Red Notice challenge is pending before the CCF?

Pending CCF proceedings do not suspend or deactivate a Red Notice. The notice remains fully visible to US border agencies throughout the review period, which typically ranges from 9 to 18 months for contested cases. Entry to the US while a notice is active carries significant detention risk, particularly if the requesting country has an extradition treaty with the United States and monitors your movements. If travel is unavoidable, obtaining a Preventive Request before the CCF — which places your objections on record — provides some procedural protection, though it does not eliminate the risk of provisional arrest.
