More details to this question:
Hi, My I130 got approved, now I am currently in the USA on an H1B visa. My brother applied in 2010 and the priority date is 2010 Sep. (India citizen) I can only file I160 once PD becomes correct right?
If your brother applied for you in 2010, you are still a long way from being able to obtain benefits through his petition. You state that you are an Indian citizen and I will assume for purposes of your fact situation that you are also born in India. Currently the final action date chart in the month of November 2020 for F-4 cases from India is only up to 3/8/05 and the date for filing chart up to 11/22/05. It will likely be at least another five years before you will be able to either file an I-485 application to adjust status in the US or form DS-260 immigrant visa application to process at the US Consulate or embassy.
