A greencard holder cannot sponsor a sibling. So first, your wife needs to become a US citizen. After that, it will take about 11 years.

Wife can petition for her brother once she becomes a US citizen.

Currently the wait after petition is approved is approx. 11.5 years. http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5712.html
