It may be possible. I would need to know more about the situation to give you an answer though. Was your brother a citizen?

Please call at your earliest convenience.

Re: Petition for deceased brother's family to US

If your late brother was a U.S. citizen then his widow (and son) could do a self-petition if she was married to him for more than 2 years at the time of his death AND the petition is submitted within 2 years of his death.

If he was not a citizen, then neither you nor your parent can petition for her or her son since there is no relationship anymore to the wife. The son is your parent's grandchild and your nephew but, unfortunately, those two types of relationship don't qualify under the immigration law as far as petitioning for them is concerned.
