They need to apply for a B2 tourist visa and provide social and economic ties to their country, the more the better the chances of getting approved.

If you want them to only visit, then they will need to apply for a visit visa based on their own merit, proving strong ties to their home country.

If you'd like to petition for them then that's a separate process. You'd file an I-130 and based on the current VB, its about a 13 year wait and I think a 23 year wait if you're from the Phllippines.

thank you so much but if ever they like to live here after the visitation can i petition them by then?

Your brother-in-law is a Swedish national so he can visit the US under the visa waiver program. They can't obtain visit visas with the intention of immigrating and living in the US since that's immigration fraud.

And even if they decided to live here only after visiting, you'll still need to wait for your PD to become current.
