First of all, your status says that you're adjusting status so I would think that you don't have Citizenship yet. Secondly, for a sibling, I do believe it's at least a 10 year wait.

Currently, 8.5 years waiting for a priority date to become current, then processing, so about 9 years.

Depending on the country involved, the wait for an available sibling visa may be several years (10+ years). The number of visas for siblings are limited.

You may refer to the Department of State Visa Bulletin for current priority dates.
