Sibling Petition (I-130)

My sister, a U.S. citizen, filed a petition for me on April 25, 2024. I am currently 26 years old and residing in the Philippines. I’ve read that the process for this type of petition can take many years. Is that accurate for someone in my situation? I’m starting to feel discouraged and would greatly appreciate some guidance on what to expect moving forward.

Additionally, is it possible to consult or hire an immigration lawyer to assist with my case?
