Q: how long does it take after removing icloud lock
... before I can activate iPhone? Previous owner swears he removed it this morning but Apple IMEI check says it is still locked.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

Hello
It is instant,
If it still shows it's locked after a few seconds, they didn't remove the device from their iCloud Account
Have them visit iCloud.com
They will need to "erase" and then remove the device from their account.
Best of Luck
