You would have to move before your parents. 

You would have to have a job.

Why F2B? It would fall under F2A.

Pakistan is not an oversubscribed country anyway.

You need to wait 4 years until you turn 21.

afterwards your parents should apply for your brother and he will get green card more easily through parents.

your parents will get visa in 12 to 14 months after you turn 21.

as sibling visa is taking a much longer time now

You should move to U.S 2 years before applying for your parents,so you can have a job tax papers and financial evidence needed for your parents petition

You must be 21 in order to sponsor your parents... and I would say your siblings also. Both visa types are at risk of being removed if major chnges to the immigration policy go through... but there is nothing you can do now, nothing you can do until you are 21, and nothing you can do about any possible changes, 

I'm assuming you're talking about all the changes to the chain migration that trump wants to enforce?
Do you know if K1 visas fall under chain migration?

No. K-1 and CR-1 visas shouldn't be affected much as they fall into "immediate family" or something a long those lines. That's how I have understood what I have read so far.

 

Same as US citizens who have children abroad can petition still for their kids.

 

It is mostly affecting the petitioning of parents/siblings/cousins, ect.

yeah that's what i thought...i read some stuff online about the chain migration but it was kind of unclear whether K1s were included in that category. 

Almost 6 months waiting on NOA2...anything will make me panic right now 

Thanks for your response
