I had the same problem before also.... My wife's sister wanted to come. Previously she had come on tourist visa which was available at the airport immigration, but has now been stopped. Maybe 2009 or so I applied for visit visa for her, but immigration officer said that it was not allowed to bring wife's sister, as it can be sister/brother/mother/father only of the main sponsor, not of his spouse who he is sponsoring. strange.... anyways, i just recently applied for her again at it got accepted for the 6 months visit visa.
So if your husband has good salary, get NOC letter from his company that he wants to bring his wife's brother on visit. Go to messimeer immigration in the evening ( i think the officers seem to be nicer in the evenings... 3 to 7pm) and apply there. Good luck !
