hi

 

I'm not sure about the passport photos, but unless your brother is married, your parents should file for your brother

 

if you file for your brother, it will take 14 years or more to immigrate.

 

if he is unmarried, it will take half that time for your parents to file for him if he is over 21

Maybe Philippines but India is almost the same as rest of the world, it doesn't take 20 as per the visa bulletin

For India, category F4, immigration is currently working on June 15th, 2004

Seems there re more and more applicants so time line will increase, I would look at history as being a minimum.
