I understand for the I-130 we need my wife's birth certificate and her naturalization certificate.

Follow the instructions for the I-130 and get acquainted with the IR-5 process: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/family-based-immigrant-visas.html and http://www.visajourney.com/content/immigration-parents. With the IR-5 there will NOT be a need to adjust status with I-485 form.

Wow you know people come here and ask questions because they don't know the process.  There is a nice way to give people information and not jump to the conclusion that they would like to intentionally commit immigration fraud. If they knew it was fraud do you really think they would announce it in a public forum?

With an existing tourist visa that she has already used a few times, there should be a good chance of them allowing her to visit during the process if she can show evidence on each trip that it will really just be a temporary visit.

You don't have to wait until she visits to file the paperwork. The I-130 can be filed at any stage - even tomorrow if you wish. A filed petition does not mean she can't visit. Sure, it might be a tough ride convincing the CBP officer that she has no immigration intent but it's not impossible. 

 

Have you researched the cost of healthcare ready for when she moves here? Or is she of working age and hoping to get a job here once her visa is issued?

I tend to agree. OP never stated that MIL would stay. In fact he asked if she should bring any papers from home. OP probably does not know about all of the different ways of immigration. That’s what VJ is for. To help and guide people to do things the right way. I sincerely believe he was asking with good intent. Not with the intent to commit visa fraud.

Better chance of approval if she stays in US until the tourist Visa expires than files for AOS? Overstay is forgiven anyways since she would be IR.

This is still fraudulent.

People ask all the time, that's why we let them know it's visa fraud.  Then the story always changes because people are vehement in their responses.  

 

Most people are unaware of US immigration laws.  I have friends who thought I was automatically a USC because I was married to one.  Nope!

The OP has received information on the proper way to proceed.  To avoid further sharp responses and questionable recommendations, this thread is now closed to further comment.
