I don't have ESP, a crystal ball, Tarot cards, an Ouiji board or any other way to tell you what WILL happen and due to obvious security reasons no one in the system will you their plan.

All you can do is monitor the local jail. So long as he's there you'll know where he is and from there only 2 possibilities exist: Either he was taken for transport (during which time he will be "dark") or he will be released for failure to extradite in a timely fashion. So what is timely?

There is no set in stone time frame for extradition and interstate (State to State) extradition varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

The closest that you are going to come to getting a competent answer is to call the shift commander at the facility where he is being held (awaiting extradition) and ask how long they will hold him (what is there time frame / policy) awaiting transport. It could be a week or a month. I can't say, but the shift commander can (and hopefully will).

If you call then follow the rule of the 3 "p"'s (be patient, pleasant and polite), in which case you'll likely be surprised at just how knowledgeable and helpful they can be. Conversely...

You can also hire a lawyer in the State that is seeking him (in this case PA) to attempt to negotiate terms of release with the prosecutor and or the Court, but that may not be successful. Please note that this is not to suggest that he / you should not try, in fact you should try if you can afford to do so, so I encourage you to consider hiring counsel in the State that issued the warrant (again, PA) asap . Even if you cannot get a bond you may be able to expedite transportation and, if not, then you can still get a head start on dealing with the underlying case.

Wishing your b/f luck and hoping that I have been helpful in answering your question.

Pennsylvania will not come and get him. They will hire a transport agency to transport him.

This is a dated article but still true.

As far as I know the company is still operating. It is a cramped van.
