The processing time for a U.S. citizen filing a petition for a sibling (F4 category) typically takes 13–16 years, depending on the sibling’s country of origin and visa availability. Since you filed the petition in September 2016, it may take until 2029–2032 for the priority date to become current, though countries like India, Mexico, or the Philippines may have longer wait times due to demand. To track progress, regularly check the Visa Bulletin published by the Department of State and compare your priority date with the current dates under the F4 category for your sibling’s country.
