How long can a ''ongoing investigation'' take

My exfriend pointed the finger at me because of his nature of not taking the blame for stuff. He was investigated and was found guilty and served 2 years. I on the other hand was investigated and was never given the all clear yet. I know i have dont nothing wrong and was innocent but they never gave me an all clear.
