In worst case scenario they can opt for additional security checks which could take some time. You can ask your brother to speak with IPS to find more information about his application. If the interviewer was satisfied then his passport might have issued by now otherwise it can take some time to conduct additional security checks. IPS should be able to tell you in either case. They are really helpful compared to UKBA staff.
