For as long as earth exists... gravitational force is caused by the earth's mass, so while the earth has mass there'll be a force

The gravitational force from the surface of the earth is caused by all the mass inside the surface of the earth. The effects of earths gravity, the "gravitational field", propagates with the speed of light from the earth.
If you went 100 miles deeper inside the earth the gravity would decrease a bit.

The gravitational force of earth as every other body of mass in the universe extends to infinity but becomes infinitely weak.

mass is d measure of d gravitational force exerted by d earth on any body....and dis gravitational force is given by newtons law of gravitational force....hence according to dis law d gravitational force is max at d centre of earth and it becomes negligible outside d radius of d earth...hence
THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE IMPLIED BYD EARTH IS APPLICABLE TILL D RADIUS OF EARTH...

I think that you mean how long in distance not time.
If so, technically there is no limit. Gravity effects other object at all distances. However the further you go the less it gets till it diminishes towards zero (though never reaching zero)
