F4, no response at all?

Wife sponsored a sibling back in 2016~2017.  I know the actual case can take 15-20 years, but should we expect anything beyond the NOA1 at this point?

Nope, other than the I-130 approval. Nothing else will happen until the sibling becomes eligible to apply for a visa. 
 

Maybe another 15 years or so to go as a rough guess? Just keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin occasionally.

I have the same question as the OP.

Applied for sibling in 2017 and received a receipt notice. Then nothing. No I130 approval. I assumed there’d be no communication until the 15 or so years were up. But reading about I130 approvals on here, I submitted an online inquiry. Two weeks later I got an automated reply stating that they’re looking in to it. That was about 3 months ago.

You’ll get the I-130 approval at some point. If your sibling has kids you want it to take as long as possible.
