We are legally married, I am a citizen by birth if USA. She has not received her visa after being married for 8 months and 6 days. She has a Mexican passport. What would happen if she bought a one way ticket from Mexico to Seattle with no visa? I could meet her at the airport with all the documentation, etc...What would be the reaction of immigration?

You hint that you have applied for a visa, presumably a K-1 or K-3 visa. If so, please don't jeopardize your life together. Your WHOLE life. For ever. All because you couldn't wait. Check out uscis.gov for the processing times for the stage you are at just now (depends on the form number and make sure to select the correct processing center). If you filed that form before the date shown on the website, you need to be contacting the service center to find out why it has not been dealt with. Allow a couple of weeks past the date in case there is a letter in the mail to you. In many cases you can petition for relief (ie, to move the case along) if the USCIS does not deal with your form within a certain timescale.
I understand your frustration, but please do not go down this route. you may very well get her in and, if you do, you will probably be able to make her legal if you deal with matters promptly. However, doing it the way you suggest means that she will almost certainly be denied citizenship. Consequently, if she visits family in Mexico (for instance) she can still be denied re-entry to the USA, even if she is legal at that time.
Sorry if my opening paragraph sounds harsh, but I really do feel for you. I came to the USA five years ago. We filed in the summer of 2001, my fiancee visited me in the August and we had to sit and wait until the paperwork was completed. Then September 11th happened. We waited it out, I got here, we have just celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary and I am in the midst of applying for citizenship. Trust me, the wait will be worth it.
Good luck with this and hang in there.

They will detain her at the airport, throw her in jail, and she might get a bond, if she does it will be thousands of dollars, if you can't pay or they don't give her a bond, she will stay in jail while they take their time to deport her, which can take months. She will be deported sooner if she agrees to go back right away at the airport, then she will get on the next flight out. While she is waiting at the airport, she will be detained and in handcuffs. They may or may not allow you to see her. Documentation of a pending application will not keep her from being deported. Even worse, her coming without a visa could possibly make her ineligible to immigrate for ten years, because she will be entering illegally, just like someone who sneaks across the border. If the deportation proceedings take more than a year, and they very well can, then she will be legally barred from entering for ten years.

you're perfect served paying for a roudtrip value ticket leaving the go back holiday open. that is more interior your budget contained in the longer time period. in case you do not have the money to purchase a roundtrip at the moment, you likely do no longer have sufficient for a one-way fare. One-way fares are in many cases larger and also you may many times get a roundtrip at an more desirable value than even the single-way fare. getting into the united kingdom with no go back value ticket is authorized, yet you may be requested as an example information that you'll help your self at the same time as there. the point is that a one-way far, at the same time as workable, is going to finally end up costing you more beneficial contained in the longer time period and it is going to improve a flag at customs and immigartion once you arrive.

Call and ask someone what legal way you should do this.
Immigration perhaps? Or go online and try to find rules.
There are different rules, and it depends why you are ocming to US. Are you going to work for a temporary time?
very unlikely you will get into country with 1 ways and be able to stay. Do you already live in the USA?
You really should call someone so you know the rules and don't take too much advice on here.
You don't want to get in trouble and have her omitted from returning to the states do you?
Plus I think she might hve to have a visa before she can enter. But find out - from the big guys. Call from a different number or something.
Just go by the rules - and maybe you can start working on her green card after that.

She'll get turned around and sent back to where she came from.
