No, only your biological children. Siblings can only be petitioned for by you long after you enter the USA and have naturalized, and become a citizen, 3-4 years after your arrival, and then that visa can take 10 or more years for it to be approved, it has the lowest priority 4th preference.

Family Fourth Preference (F4): Brothers and sisters of United States citizens, and their spouses and children, provided the U.S. citizens are at least 21 years of age. (65,000)

You cant just bring him no..... to be able to to get your brother to the US you will have to wait until you are a US Citizen.... then you can file for him.... it will take many many years for him to get a visa... if the US government has not excluded siblings fron the list by then...

For him to be able to immigrate, it will take 10 years or more by immigrating through a sibling. And its been proposed to remove that as an immigration option.

There are other possiblities, If you are you or your fiancee is willing to sponser him and he is able to get accepted to a US college, he could try to come here on a student visa. He wont be able to stay after he is done with school though, unless he finds someone and gets married.

Even though its not easy to get, having a 4 yr college education does make him eligible for an H1B visa if he can find an employer in the US willing to sponsor him. Those visas are capped, but the selection process is random, so he does have somewhat of a chance.
