Time for Removed URLs to take affect

    I recently removed a url via Google Webmaster Tools. I had a link from one of my sites to the other with a query string at the end: www.mysite.com/?myothersite.

    This was showing up as the URL in my main keyword search. So I have external links pointing to www.mysite.com/ but Google seems to be building my SERP around www.mysite.com/?myothersite. I removed the link, excluded the link via robot.txt, and included it in Removed URLs.

    How long will this stay pending? How long before search results lose the www.mysite.com/?myothersite URL? Days, weeks, months??

    Thanks.
