He would need to apply for a visa and explain what his reasons for traveling to the US are. He can include the wedding invitation, etc. but there is no guarantee that he will be issued a visa.

Your brother-in-law-to-be will need to apply for a visitor visa at the US consulate.

Your fiance's brother should be able to get a visitor's visa, as long as there is nothing in his background that would make him inadmissible. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.

It depends on his situation and intent to return home. To obtain the visa, he needs to demonstrate ties to his home country, purpose of his visit and intent to return after his visit.

Check their U.S.Embassy's website in Jamaica for the procedures. It is certainly not automatic however, and no guarantee they would give it to him.
