More details to this question:
My brother and his family are living in Germany and were granted an immigrant visa. The visa was stamped on their home country passports. They also have valid travel documents that were issued to them in Germany. Can the visa be stamped on their travel documents as well? Note: they have asylum in Germany.

The difficulty is that once the immigrant visas have been placed into a passport, U. S. consular officers would most likely not consent to placing the visas also in other travel documents. Your brother and his family could try to explain their situation to the American consulate, but if it agreed to place the immigrant visas in the travel documents, it would likely require cancellation of the visas in the home country passports.
