It can take anywhere from an hour to several hours.  On a good day, you'd probably see it in 1-2 hours.

It takes 6 "confirmations" before the money shows up in your account, each one will be 10 minutes apart on average meaning you'll usually confirm in an hour.

You can track these if you find the transaction on blockchain.info and keep an eye on it, just search for the address you sent money to and you should see your transaction and its confirmation count.
