Hello Everyone...Actually my wife just became U.S.Citizen and would like to apply for her parents (I-130 IR category).

I looked at the form and guides here and just wanted to confirm few things...

1. the photographs for the beneficiaries (wife's parents) are not needed? when would USCIS ask for this then?

2. the birth certificates of parents are not needed? and again if not needed at this point, when would they ask for it?

I just wanted to make sure as I will be sending out the packet in a day or so.

thanks so much...

When the file reaches the NVC, the NVC will ask for these items. As you already know, along with the I-130, your wife will need to submit a copy of her birth certificate that shows both of her parents names on it. I didn't see anything in the instructions that say photographs of the beneficiary are required at this stage in this instance.
