Answer 1

There isn't any specific form to do this, just write a letter. You can fill out an affidavit of support, but it isn't required. However, you need to understand that even if you do this, it won't guarantee that your brother will get a tourist visa. He will still need to prove to the interviewing officer that he has strong ties to his country and will return after a short stay. Invitation letters from relatives, etc. are not required for tourist visas.

Answer 2

You can send him a letter inviting him to visit you in the US and can also include in that letter that you will be financially supporting ALL his expenses during his stay. You are an amercian citizen I suppose, coz if not, your letter will be of no use to him.

With regard to the application form, I strongly suggest that you let him do the application (on-line) then print it before signing and bringing it with him to the interview as the consul will interview him regarding the information the application form. He will not know how to answer if you supplied all the details. If he is not capable of answering a simple form, he will have a hard time in the interview as that is more complicated.**
