You cannot apply for your mother-in-law, even your spouse too. Your spouse could apply for her mother when she get her citizenship.

**It is pretty easy to get tourist visa for your mother-in-law, US embassy dhaka will issue her visa without any problem**

You NO no relationship to petition from

GC holder NO only can apply for spouse and children as a GC holder must wait until they are a citizen

Your best bet is to do a visitor visa and then adjust status once stateside. Just make sure when she enters the US on a tourist visa, she doesnt know about your intention to adjust her status. That way you keep it legal.

The mother in law may have years to wait . If the actual child is only a GC holder that person needs to be a USC first and then file. So the mother would need to be here ( and not overstaying ) for it to work. If she arrives now by the time the child becomes a USC there would be a multi year ban to wait out.

why are u giving an illegal way to adjust status u know that by visiting with tourist visa and keep in mind to adjust status, is illegal wether the thought is for applicant or petitioner but the thing is its illegal,

and the main point is the spouse is GC holder not USC and its still few years to get her citizenship and when it will happen that time his mother in law will be overstayed and will be ban for 10 years..

the way u showed is totally wrong...

This is not correct according to the instructions on the I-130 form available on the USCIS website. It states that a USC or lawful permanent resident may petition for an alien relative to immigrate to the United States. This means a LPR with a GC would not have to wait to obtain citizenship to file the petition.

It says this because the form is used for many different things. A permanent resident is only eligible to apply to bring certain relatives to the US, that being children and spouses.
