Depends on when you start measuring the time frame

"The Statue was completed in France in July, 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor on June 17, 1885 on board the French frigate Isère."

"Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant le monde), known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), is a colossal statue given to the United States by France in 1886, standing at Liberty Island, in the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship between the two nations."

As the other say, various dates. The original plan was to make it a gift of France to the U.S. on the occasion of the centennial of independence 1876, but parts of the statue, the head and raised arm in particular, were shown in Paris before then to promote fund raising. Then there was the problem of how to mount it. The pedistal was built from donations in the U.S. with much of it coming from kids with penny donations. It finally got here and was assembled and dedicated 10 years late.
