Only your sister (when she becomes a US citizen) can sponsor you, her husband can't.
 
and after she sponsors you, it'll take about 12-14 years for you to get a green card through her sponsorship.
 
Process

Okay, so how does this work? We are in somewhat similar situation.
Lets say beneficiary is in US on H1/H4, Will he/she is be eligible to work without H1 or apply for EAD ?

Nope. He/she has to maintain the valid H-1 status in order to work legally in the U.S.
