There is no time limit on the process of extradition. It is not as simple as driving over the state line to pick you up and haul you back. There are defined legal and administrative steps that must be satisfied to 'legally' extradite and return you for trial. As long as the holding state has been notified by the extraditing state that the process is in motion, it can take as long as it takes.

Your boyfriend is in Jail in California awaiting extradition to Texas after the 30 days are up can California release and rearrest him on the same warrant in Texas?
What makes you think there is a 30 day "Get Out of Jail Free" card? If your boyfriend refuses to waive extradition it will necessarily prolong the process between the two states. The states have to satisfy the legal procedures required to extradite the boyfriend which takes more time.
You signed extradition papers for Ct and was not picked up?
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.
How long can OK hold someone on extradition to MS?
When you get arrested in Oklahoma for an out of state warrant, you have the option to either fight extradition to that state or waive your rights and go back willingly. If you sign the extradition papers to return to that state, then the other state has 14 business days to come and get the individual. If you choose to fight the extradition, then Oklahoma will charge you as a fugitive from justice and set a bond. Many states won't allow a fugitive bond. If you can post bond, then you will be set free. There will be a hearing in 30 days to see if the other state has issued a governor's warrant. If there isn't a warrant yet, then another court date will be set 60 days later. They usually have the governor's warrant by then. If not, then the charges in Oklahoma will be dropped and you will be set free. However, there will still be the charges in the other state. After the governor's warrant has been issued the 14 days rule is typically set aside. This means that the other state has more time to come and pick you up.
How long does Texas have to request extradition from Oklahoma?
Once the extradition process has actually started, there is no statutory timeframe set by law that it must occur within - it can take as long as it takes. It will take even longer if the arrestee fights it. It certainly takes longer than just a few days. The states have to generate paperwork and file legal papers to make sure that legal extradition takes place - all this takes time. If you wind up being held for more than 90 days you can file a writ of Habeus Corpus.

Does Arizona extradite from Texas?
Yes, depending upon the charge and if certain legal standards are met. For Arizona and Texas and the other 48 states within the United States of America tend to respect, and cooperate with, each other on extradition requests. Such requests tend to be made over the serious, felony charges and regarding the more heinous crimes. But neither Arizona and Texas nor the other 48 states make decisions once a country other than the U.S. becomes involved. For involvement of another country always demands the role of the federal government as decisionmaker.
How long will someone being held on a extradition from Oregon to California be held in Oregon?
Once the 'wanting' state is notified by the 'apprehending' state, it can take as long as it takes. Once the process has been set in motion there is no statutory limit on the amount of time. If the fugitive fights extradition it can take even longer. Extradition is not a swift process. Legal filing and requirments between the two states to satisfy the requirement of law take time. It's not a simple matter of calling someone up and saying, "Come get him." If you are held more than 90 days, file a writ of Habeus Corpus.
