Show me where it states you can't receive a visitors visa once you receive a green card.
 
I asked for help, not what I can not do....advise me on what I need to do to get my MIL a visitors visa

She should at least try to get a visitor visa. 
 
She should say that she has no intention of living in the US.
 
I have seem cases in which parents with no property, retired, etc. got visitor visas. So it is possible. 
 
I totally get what you say. It is dumb to deny visas to parents who could get a green card in a year. They should be able to visit and go back to their home.

This makes absolutely NO sense, ZERO.
My husband becomes a US citizen and he can now file a form to GRANT his immediate family to live in the US. Sounds pretty simple and takes a few months to do so, if I'm wrong, whatever. 
 
BUT in our case, we have a family member that would just like to visit from time to time rather than add another permanent resident to this country. I would assume that this country would rather have a visitor than for someone else coming into 'their' country to live. 
 
Sorry but this is absolutely insane and this was the response I was actually expecting because it's all I've read throughout this website and researched online. 
 
What I'll do is file for the i-130 for my MIL, give the USCIS more of my money and go from there. See what happens. At least we'll get a couple of visits from it.

Same here as well. FP was done mid-Feb. We've been 'in line for an interview' since March 6. We're trying to be patient but it's hard!!
