For basically as long as it takes for NM to come and get you. Unless you are wanted in PA, there would be no reason for them to fight extradition (the process of transferring a prisoner from one jurisdiction to another).
Absent unusual circumstances, I wouldn't guess it would take more than several weeks to get the paperwork together.
