I assume that after all the reponse, you understand that your USC
brother can file a peitition for any blod-related siblings for sure -
he may also be able to file petition to any adopted child of his
parents but that doens't apply to you anyway. If you are not too old
yet, 12 year waiting period the petition is approved to file apply for
a greencard is worht the wait. But remmeber that once he files a
peititon for you, you are not eligible to apply for any non-immigrant
visa to US (such as student visa, visit visa) except work related
visas, for example, H1.
May be you should visit him first and see him because when you are
waiting (outside assuming that you leave us after your visit), you
won't be able to visit him.
Also, if he plans to file petition for his father - in that case, there
is no waiting period for your father to apply Greencard, once the
father gets greencard, the father can file petition for you which
usually is aftser than sibling waiting. And in fact, once the father
becomes a USC, it is even faster for you. And there will be no problem
to withdraw the petitions that won't be used.
