It is a long wait if you are a US citizen and you want to bring your brothers and sisters to the U.S.   For siblings located in most countries around the world, it is a 14 year wait.   For siblings in India, it is a 16 year wait.  For siblings in the Philippines, it is a 19 year wait.   For siblings in Mexico, it is a 23 year wait.   The reason it is such a long wait is that siblings have the lowest priority among family-based immigrants.  we have so many current US citizens from India, the Philippines and Mexico that there are very many people who have petitioned for their brothers and sisters to come to the US.

I hope this is interesting and helpful. Remember that this is not legal advice. It is just a summary of certain aspects of immigration law which may or may not apply to your situation. I encourage you to consult an attorney if you think any of this may apply to your situation.
