Can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 24 hours. You must be patient and allow the BitCoin network to confirm the transaction, and once it is confirmed enough it will be added to your site wallet.

Patience is a virtue!

If you give a decent transaction fee like .001 it seems to rack up the confirmations pretty quickly. Then once it hits the six confirmations you're just waiting for the next round of processing for SR (almost seems like it is a batch job that runs a couple times an hour maybe). I tried a couple deposits with a decent transaction fee. The first got into the account within about an hour, the next in about 90 minutes.

So if i have this right, when i send money to deposit in my Sr account i should attach microbits in the amount of 1 or 2    0.0001  or does it automatically come out of the amount i send or do i have to specifically designate the amount on top of the original amount deposited?

To assign a transaction fee you have to do that separately. Like in Electrum for example it lets  you specify the fee. Not all transfer services let you specify a fee. Some have just a fixed fee. Some assign no fee at all (i.e. SR). Transactions with no fee do still get processed but it seems the confirmations take longer.
