That depends on the knowledge of the person seeking to convert. If they already know a lot about the religion, it could take a few months, but if not, it could take up to a year. An Orthodox priest will guide the person and let them know when they are ready.

Conversion to any stream of Judaism, Orthodox or not, is not fast. Potential converts must typically spend many hours of study under the supervision of a rabbi before they face a rabbinical court, a beit din, which will determine whether they can convert, then, Jewish tradition requires males be circumcised and all converts to immerse in a mikveh (ritual bath) before the beit din finalizes the conversion. Conversion is not just a matter of accepting a set of personal beliefs, it is about becoming part of a community and taking on obligations within that community. As such, conversion to Judaism can be compared to becoming a naturalized citizen of a country. Details of the conversion process depend on the community. Some large communities have formal classes for converts, with a fixed curriculum, while in smaller communities, converts study one-on-one with a rabbi. As a result, the time it takes to convert is not constant, but "on the order of a year" might be a good guess.

Can an Atheist marry a Greek orthodox?
Generally, the answer is no, if the marriage is going to take place in a church. An Orthodox Christian is responsible for raising the children, if any, in the Orthodox Faith, even in cases of mixed marriages, so a non-religious person may not be comfortable with that. However, there are exceptions, and it may be best to check with your local Eastern Orthodox priest or bishop about any specific requirements they may have.
