The wait time for a sibling is at least 10 years. Location does not change the wait time.

If you are in the US illegally, you will not be able to qualify for the green card without leaving the country. If you have overstayed for 6 months or more you will be barred from returning for 3 years. If you have overstayed for 1 year or more you will be barred for 10 years.

No, there is no difference if your US sibling is in the US or outside the US.
