Family Based Immigration for Sibling

[permaudit]

My brother has become US Citizen recently and is  planning to file for my GC under the F4 Category. I know it takes a min of 12 years to be approved, but wanted to file as a back up.

 

As I look for all the forms that are need to file in this category, I understand that its just I-130 for now. But I wanted to make sure if there is a list of forms and supported documents that are required for F4 Category filing.

 

Kindly help with all the documents required and the procedure to be followed.

 

FYI I am currently on H1 and have my I-140 approved under EB2 Category.

 

Also, Would it be faster if my brother files for my Parents first (given it would take around 1 Year for them to be LPR) and have them file for me under F2 as I am not married? Or F3 if I get married during the process?( I am over 21)

 

Please advice!
