Based on the current waiting period, it will take more than 10 years.

About 15 years. Your sister must maintain her legal status in the USA, for an i-130 petition provides her with no status.

According to the current visa bulletin, here are the processing times depending on country of origin.

If your sibling is from:
China = 11.5 years
India = 11.3 years
Mexico = 13.8 years
Philippines = 22.7 years
All other countries = 11 years
