There is no set time, but it will take months, generally.
Generally you will take a medicine called Coumadin (warfarin) that will "thin" the blood, that is, take the blood longer to clot and avoid an additional blood clot from forming.
This and the tincture of time, that is, the body's ability to dissolve the blood clot thru its normal processes will rid you of the clot by dissolving it thru a complex process of special cells that circulate thru the blood.
Next step is avoiding another blood clot. This is based on how the original clot formed, there are several ways this could have happened.
Your Doctor may perform a test called chest CT to see if it has gone away.

What is the pathway that an embolism from the great saphenous vein of the leg would take before lodging in the pulmonary artery?
An embolism from the great saphenous vein in the leg would first travel through the venous system into the femoral vein, then into the external iliac vein. From there, it would enter the common iliac vein and subsequently the inferior vena cava. Finally, the embolism would flow into the right atrium, pass into the right ventricle, and then be pumped into the pulmonary artery, where it may lodge and cause a pulmonary embolism.
