Work authorization while Sibling sponsored green card application in process

[VPA]

I’m currently in USA working on h1b visa valid till 2022 (i140 is not initiated). My brother is a US citizen. will I be able to stay & work legally in US after my h1b expires with an approved i130, filled by my sibling?

Unfortunately not. The PD will be current in 15 years as per current flow.

Continuation of the above query.

Can USC sponsor can apply I-130 alone to sibling as it is online now ?

Or do we need to apply i-864 and i-485 ??

The petitioner would file only an I-130 for the sibling, no matter if they do it by mail or online.

I-485 (Adjustment of Status) cannot be filed until a visa number becomes available, ~13+ years later, and only if the beneficiary is in the US and in status at the time (which is unlikely). Most likely the beneficiary won't be in the US at that time, so will instead do Consular Processing abroad (which also does not happen until a visa number becomes available). I-864 will only be needed at the Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing stage.

What are the required documents to file I-130 to file it online?

The process is described in the site referenced in post# 4. Maybe take the trouble to read it all.?

As I-130 can be applied online . so the form should be submitted/filled from my "myuscis" account or my sister "myuscis" account ??
