I-130 case for sibling

[maxy80]

Hi everyone! I am looking for some advice here and at the same time I am also curious about what other people experienced in a similar case. I have filed I-130 for my brother on 01/05/2017 and I got a I-797C notice of action on 01/12/2017. ( I live in the US and I filed from Florida) Since then I kept checking the case status but other then "we received your I-130 case" message nothing happened with the case. It's been more then 4 years. Is it normal? Is there anything i can do about it? Can I submit an “outside normal processing time” service request? What would you suggest? Anything would help. Thank you for your time in advance

Why does it matter how long the I-130 takes? There is a 14+ year wait for visa numbers in the F4 category anyway. (And in fact, if there are children who want to immigrate as derivative beneficiaries, it is more advantageous if the I-130 takes longer to approve.)
