No, Husband is a resident of Spain but wife and kids are Citizens of Spain.

Are you a US citizen? If so then you can petition (file i130) for your brother, his wife and unmarried children under the age 21) but it will take years.

Actually my Naturalization to become a US Citizen is pending... Does being in the Military help to expedite the process if I could file for them?. Thanks for the information and timely response

No. You would have to wait until you became a citizen to petition for them.

First, you need to be a US Citizen.  

 

Second, you file for your brother.  One I-130 form, and that will apply to your brother, his spouse and their unmarried children under 21 (as long as they do not age out).

 

Third, wait for their category (F4) to be current.  As of Sept, 2020, applications for siblings approved in Sept 2006 are being considered (for Spain.  If he is not a citizen of Spain, then it is longer if he is from India, Mexico, or Philippines).  So, about a 14 year wait.

 

There is no expedite process for F4.

Being in the Military should hep you Naturalise quicker.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
