I reckon the time scale depends on how much the species is embraced.....

Rabbits, re-introduced by the Celts 2500-3000 years ago, still classed as alien.

Carp, introduced 600-800 years ago, now officially accepted as native.

Also its really an opinion thing and in my opinion if didn't arrive anywhere under its own steam it is alien and always will be!
