It depends on the relationship of the sun whether you see it the whole horizon to horizon. By that I mean the time it passes because the lower the sun drops behind earth the light shining on the ISS will be blocked by the earth. Which is why there is a big range of visible viewing. I think the longest I have seen it was near 7 minutes with it passing almost directly overhead(90 degrees). That is usually not long after sunset or not long before sunrise.
