I am not a lawyer. Here is what i found in Google.
The Fourth
Preference Family Based (FB4) category permits immigrant visa
petitions to be filed on behalf of brothers and sisters of United
States citizens. Due to the large number of petitions filed in
this category a backlog has developed. Estimates range anywhere
from a nine to 20 year wait. Only 65,000 FB4 green cards are issued
per year, and with the number of siblings wishing to obtain a
green card, it is unlikely that the wait will decrease. The use
of the FB4 category to facilitate the issuance of a green card
is not a viable option.
