Hello

So I have a question about multiple petitions.

a few years ago my brother (US citizen) submitted a sibling petition for me. This thing will probably take like ten years.

this year my fiancé and I submitted our I129F. We are still waiting for NOA2/RFE.
 

is this going to be an issue later on? Should I ask my brother to withdraw the sibling petition? I just don’t know if this is an issue as it may look like I’m desperate to get into the US. Please advise. Thank you!!

Not an issue.

so once the I129F goes through, will this end up canceling out my I130? 

But say I decide to withdraw the I130, will it make a difference at all, negative or positive?

Thank you!

Leave everything alone until you have your Green card.   Once you do withdraw the i130.

YMMV

My point was that there is no harm in having multiple petitions,  @payxibka is correct.  Just wait until you have a Green Card.
