Sibling petition (F4) regardless of age/marital status for Vietnam will take 12 years. They can immigrate together if you wait for your brother to get his F4 visa then file for Dad.

Dad can immigrate first under IR5 visa. After he gets his green card, he can file i-130 for his son.

Son will be under the F2A category (Unmarried Child below 21 of a Lawful Permanent Resident). Waiting time will be 2-3 years. He has to remain unmarried and not age-out.

My Father got a lady pregnant while in Vietnam. Her son is my brother and he has been in the Philippines all his life 40 years. With me being his sister, can I get him here to the United States? Or does our Father have to do it?

First, not cool to hijack another person's thread with your own case. Next time, start your own thread.

You can petition your brother. It would take 12 years.

Whether your father can petition him depends on several factors; 1) Was your dad a US citizen when your brother was born? 2) Was your father married to his mother? 3) Is your father named on the birth certificate? 4) What's the proof that they had a father/son relationship before your brother turned 18?
