My parents moved to (country name) to build a better future for my brothers and I.
Is it supposed to be my brothers and I or my brothers and me???

Hi Princi;
Welcome to English forums!

The object of a verb, indirect object of a verb and object of a preposition are always in object case.
The subject of the verb is always in subject case.

My brothers and I were moved here by our parents to give us a better life. (subject)
My parents moved my brothers and me here to give us a better life. (direct object)

Excellent! I'm noting down all the sentences you give though I don't understand grammer terminology.

Could the order be:
'My parents moved me and my brothers to give us a better life.'?
'I and my brothers....'?

You should always mention yourself last as a matter of courtesy.
