It will be a VERY VERY VERY long time before they will be eligible for an immigrant visa on the basis of your petition-20-30 years.

That will depend upon how old everyone was at the time they became your step-siblings.

You have to be at least 21 years of age to petition for your half-brother and sister. The petitions are submitted on Form I-130 and will take approximately 23 years before a visa will become available for them under category F4. The filing fee for each petition is $420. You will need to submit your birth certificates and the marriage certificates and divorce decrees of your parents.

Yes if you are a US citizen and at least 21 years old. There is more than a 13-year wait. The filing fee for each is $420. I can help you file and my fees are very competitive.

You can petition your half brother and you will need their birth documents. Also you will need your own parent and step parent?s marriage and divorce documents too.
