At the moment, it takes about 11 years. For an Indian citizen the current cut off date is 1 March 1998, which means that only F4 petitions (siblings of US citizens) filed on or before that date are currently valid for use, or current. You can check it for yourself on the Visa Bulletin at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4428.html

Unfortunately, forever. You will probably be looking at 9-12 years. Some countries take longer to process because of the backlogs. You should go to the USCIS website and check the category you will be falling under (sibling to sibling sponsorship) and check how long it would take under the country it falls under by the current applications already in process.
