If you are in the US illegally, you will not be able to qualify for the green card without leaving the country. If you have overstayed for 6 months or more you will be barred from returning for 3 years. If you have overstayed for 1 year or more you will be barred for 10 years.

Please get a second opinion from another immigration attorney. No. It means that, unless the law changes, the sibling won't be able to adjust in the US after the 12 years pass. It means that, unless the law changes, the sibling will have to leave the US to consular process, immediatly subjecting them to a 10 year Bar to adjustment, which can only be waived if there is not the wrong kind of criminal record and if there is/are the right kind of qualifying relatives legally 'residing' in the US.
