The Guidance on the website doesn't offer much on what to include in the package to be sent in for Siblings. I was curious if anyone include anything out of the Guidance listed here and have success with it?

File I-130 online. 

 

Then wait patiently for many years.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

There is not really much about it, you are just showing that your brother  is your brother you are a USC and reserving your spot in line.

The June 2023 Visa Bulletin shows a priority date of 08APR07 for Category (F4) Brothers and Sisters of Adult U.S. Citizens, CHINA-mainland born.

That indicdates roughly a 16 year wait.

Another option is for the sibling to apply to some education program with in-demand employment like healthcare, IT, etc.

Then apply for the student visa, which can be approved in about a month.

After graduation, adjust status with an employer.
