Siblings of U.S. citizens have a long wait for an immigrant visa. The quota is backlogged for 10-12 years. As a consequence, it is not a priority for adjudication, but the filing date is your visa priority date, which is preserved. Eventually you will receive a decision.

The i130 should have been adjudicated by now. Consult an attorney on this. However it will take at least 10 years to get a green card through your sibling.

Immigration sees no reason to process your forms quickly. They have date stamps ... but, won't have any value for at-least 8 more years.
