I know the process takes over a decade.

My husband is a USC and has an application pending for one of his brothers.

He now wants to file an application for his other brother. His brother is married with young minor children. The children do not yet have passports. Do they need to get passports for the purpose of filling out the application or can the application be filled out without them having passports?

Nothing is needed at this point. At the time of interview they will need passports assuming they are still minors. The sibling category is hard to get a timeline for because they get the leftovers. Visa numbers not used by other family classes . If the other classes keep consuming greater number as might be expected as family petition spiral out then the sibling visa will continue to slow down to the point it could be a lifetime wait.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

As said, no passports or any other documents are required from the children of his brother. The name of his children need to be listed on i130 and that's it for the filing.
