Good morning guys, thank you for the support and words of encouragement. Apologies for not writing sooner, I have been so busy!
Well, just to close this post, my family travelled last weekend and I went to pick them up from Brussels. I told my brother to take as much documentation with him as possible to prove that we are related and to prove that I had invited them over. He took copies of our birth certificates, copies of our passports, he also took the letter of invitation I had taken to apply for the entry visa (the Verpflichtungserklärung) and he had my contact details to hand just in case.
Well, they went to Passport control and handed over the passports. They checked and asked couple of questions about whom they were visiting and where they were going to stay. He handed over the documents for them to check and that was pretty much it. They stamped the passports and they were free to walk!
My mum and brother are now here and I am a happy man!!
Thanks again to all who commented on this post. Your advice/support was very helpful
Regards,
Junior
