I married a Chinese Citizen and my wife wants to bring her brother, sister-in-law and their son to the U.S. We can sponsor them, and my wife would like to know how long a process this is? The American Embassy in China always denies their request and we would like to have them here with us.

One has to be a US citizen to petition for siblings. Your wife will need to become a citizen and then she can petition for her brother and his family to immigrate to the US. However, there is a quota on the number of visas issued to siblings of US citizens, so there is a very long wait to get a visa (over ten years).
