What is the processing times for a Naturalized US CItizen bringing their parents and unmarried siblings to the US?

Siblings is probably mid-high teens in years from now, it will be a bit faster for them if you sponsor your parents first and they then sponsor their kids once they arrive (but as long as parents are only LPRs and not citizens, your siblings will have to remain unmarried through the process).

 

Check the visa bulletin for priority dates for F4 (siblings) and F2A or F2B (depending on your siblings' ages), and bear in mind that it will take longer from now than it has in the past. This is because the categories' annual numerical limits remain the same but the pool of awaiting beneficiaries increases each year.
