Sibling, which is faster?

[Hopeworld 1]

I'm a US citizen and my parents just got their immigrant Visa interview in 10 days.

 

I was thinking of doing a petition for my sibling. It says online it takes 10 years but someone told me it might be 20 years.

I honestly do not understand
My question is, will it be faster if my parents do a petition for my brother when they have their greencard VS ME doing a petition?
Also my parents have low income pension from Sweden. They do have few assets in Swe but I was thinking about putting my self down as affidavit of support in their application.
But regardless, I'm still not sure which will be faster.

I looked at timelines on this site and online and do not understand ANY of it :/

Any advice?
Thank you.

Any idea on the difference in years? He's actually over 21 and is married with 2 kids below two years old.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

File for your brother now.  Because your brother is married, your parents cannot petition for him until they themselves become US citizens.  That means they need to wait at least around 6 years or so after they enter the US, before they can even file the petition for your brother.  Then assuming same wait time from the May 2022 visa bulletin, the estimates for you starting the F4 process now vs your parents naturalizing then starting the F3 process --

• F4 (sibling of USC):  around 15 years from petition filing date to visa interview
• F3 (married child of USC):  5 years wait for your parents to be able to apply for citizenship + around 1 year for naturalization process + around 14 years from petition filing date to visa interview = around 20+ years

Note that I used the wait time estimate from the current visa bulletin only for simplicity's sake.  The wait time for visa number will not stay constant and will likely get longer in 15 to 20 years, assuming no major change to immigration law.

His children may age out no way of telling now, anyway they will be adults by the time   a visa number is available

 

Best if everyone files who knows what could happen in decades plus will he want to move at that age?

Plus assets of the parents should be in USA

Expect to pay $1-2k per month for each of them in health insurance premiums.  They will not be eligible for Medicare.
