Your spouse can petition for your mother-in-law after he/she becomes a US citizen.

NO, you cannot petition your mother in law but your spouse, who is her son/daughter can petition for her if he/she is a US citizen.

No, your spouse has to do that, so if it is your wife's mother, your wife must petition for her mother. You can be a joint sponsor.

What is your husband's status? As your mother-in-law, she's not a relative that you can petition for, but your spouse may be able to. You should explore that.

There is no family-based immigration for a mother-in-law, as there is none for aunts and uncles and cousins. There may be other ways for a mother-in-law to immigrate through another category, however.
