Why are the processing times different for different service centers if everyone believes that it takes a minimum of 10 years to bring over a sibling? My siblings are from Uruguay... is it less time for them? Does anyone know if a case that has taken less time to process?

Preference dates are assigned upon petition submission...

The I-130 petition processing time in this situation is really irrelevant... it is the wait for an available visa number... so even if petitions were approved by the USCIS in 6 mos., the petitions would still collect dust at the Department of State (NVC) waiting for a visa number (based on the preference date), which is presently 10 years minimum for Family 4th preference category. So the 10 year wait is any combination of USCIS & DOS, but will still be a total of about 10 years minimum.
