Extradition, sometimes known as a "Governor' s Warrant" is the legal process necessary to lawfully remove a wanted person from the state which apprehended him back to the state in which they are charged with the offense.
Extradition ONLY applies when removing someone state to state. It does not apply when moving someone county to county within the SAME state.

A Governor's Warrant is also known as a Writ of Extradition. Once the state that wants you has indicated that they will extradite you, the holding state will keep you in jail until the formal legal process of extradition has been accomplished. This is not exactly a speedy process and if you are still in jail, awaiting extradtion, after 90 days I would suggest filing a Writ of Habeus Corpus.

If the fugitive is still awaiting extradition in jail after 60 - 90 days, they should file a Writ of Habeus Corpus.

What is the timeframe since you signed the extradition papers? Extradition is not an immediate process (i.e.: it does not happen within 24-48 hours). Certain legal steps have to be taken between the states to 'lawfully' extradite you back to your home state. Once the process has been set in motion there is no statutory time limit, and it can take, as long as it takes. If you are held awaiting extradition for more than 90 days, file a writ of Habeus Corpus.

You could file it immediately if you wish, nothing is stopping you.

You could probably speed up the process by waiving the process of extradition. If you're currently being held awaiting extradition, ask to consult with a public defender for advice.
