Ahhhh. I see.
Well, like Jackie and most, I would never use the word arrived in Enlish to mean get there. I have heard arrived used to mean somebody has finally made a success of himself/herself after a lot of hard work. As in..."she has finally arrived."
In French we would definitely say, C'est à peu près temps que tu arrives / it is about time you arrived...when somebody has kept you waiting.
