I have problem with his birth certificate because my parents registered him under their name. So, he is only my brother. I am a permanent resident here. Can I apply for him for a K-4 visa so that he will not have to wait?

USCIS typically determines whether an individual is a child based upon who the country sees as the lawful parent of the child. From what you have told me, you would not be consider the parent for purposes of a K4 or even immigrant visa petition. Depending upon how old your child is, you may want to consider filing adoption paperwork so you are legally designated your child’s parent.
