Would be quite amazing if intent was being assessed finally USCIS even after entry. But this case the OP seemed to literally admit the intent was to stay since they applied for AOS only a month after entry basically. Really wish AOS from other status's in the US would be gotten rid of but until then maybe this is a good start with harder investigations. 

No. She will have to return home. With the K-1 visa, she can only adjust status through the petitioner, meaning you. There is no other option. She must leave before her I-94 expires or she will be unlawfully present and begin accumulating overstay. Naturally she doesn't want to return, but that's the reality of the situation. 

It's simple really. Get the K-1 visa from the embassy after the interview approval. Fly to the US, upon entry at immigrations the K-1 visa is voided and you are legally present in the US for 90 days on an I-94. You must marry within those 90 days to fulfill the K-1 requirements. Then once married and have all documentation for AOS, you file the I-1485, I-131, and I-765 together. Once you receive the NOA1 for those submissions, you regain a legal presence in the US and can remain during the adjustment phase.

Well more to the point, why the 10 year wait? All can seem suspicious to the embassy. At 70, all of a sudden after a decade, trying to go visit the US? to them again it may seem like she's planning her retirement in the US with her daughter and grand kids. You have to be realistic with this things, so many people before have done it, hence why it is tough for some to ever obtain a tourist visa from certain countries (Philippines for example, difficult because of prior misuses by so many, and it still happens almost everyday probably)

Can't wait... but yea.. just a proposal... but this is proof of the "chain migration"... with no offense to the OP intended... 1-2 people got what? 6-8 people more in? hence chain migration... come on proposal.

She filed for you as a spouse I assume which is F2A for green card holders, process is about 24 months so. Got aways to go.

Agreed with above. This has nothing to do with your assumption at "how bad they are at doing their jobs", sounds like they did their jobs perfectly to be honest. From what you stated, all her ties are to the US, not Mexico, so why would she return home and not just stay? The key thing for any applicant for a tourist visa is to prove to the embassy why they would return home, not just why they want to go to the US. Her daughter, being an LPR, her grand kids, all good reasons to just stay in the US. What does she have that would make her go home afterwards?
 
She can reapply how ever many times she wants, but unless she provides more evidence to return home, results will stay the same most likely. But the more denials also add up to seeming desperate. Have the daughter visit Mexico as an alternative.

Well again, as hard as it is to seem to be able to self-justify their decision, even in the sense of my husband, he knows his dad would never get a tourist visa probably, so he is in same situation, but we just plan to travel and visit when we can there. That's the simple solution then trying to fight something that you can't fight. So that's the simple solution for your wife's situation, take a family trip and visit Mexico.

I seriously doubt they said she was denied because she has only one child.  But her situation is pretty common these days.  She can thank all those people who have entered the US illegally or overstayed their visas........and your post makes it seem as though she does have interest in immigrating to the US.  She is free to reapply for a tourist visa, but I think your best bet is to visit her outside the US......

You may be able to try, but since 'refugee' in France, chances of them allowing you to then go to the US is low probably. Plus like above, need to show finances, strong ties to home country, which is probably your biggest hurdle.

Also if you're a single solider who can afford work visa sponsorship and also being able to pay (because in accordance to work visas - they need to be legally hired ) the housekeeper for another few years - congrats. 😛

It is a shame more people won't read and learn from this, people will only continue to make mistakes and, not intended to include the OP, but others will always try to blame others or the system.

The I-134 is not legally binding. So technically the co-sponsor isn't even on the "hook" financially, nor is there really a validity date to it at all.
 
Now as to the I-864, which is 125% the poverty guideline, that is legally binding, so yes in a sense it will override the I-134, and the co-sponsor is on the hook legally for it.

As to Singapore that's more country specific so other members will have to help as to if they do a packet 3 or not from the embassy.
 
But also just for terminology, your I-129f petition was approved by USCIS, the K-1 itself is only approved at the embassy level. The I-129f just gives approval to be able to apply for the K-1. 
 
Good luck.
