Up to an hour or slightly more in my experience. I've heard it can take longer but 4 hours is much more than I have ever waited. Wouldn't worry just yet though.

Minimum is 1 hour. Maximum is 24hrs before you should begin to seek help in locating your coin.

Unfortunately, like the answer to many things: it depends.

Usually, not longer than 10 minutes, but depending on who's sending it to you, it can take awhile.  Receiving depends on the sender, but confirming that it's yours, i.e., getting >=6 confirmations, usually takes 10 minutes.
