AOS fee is always the same. None of the filing-related fees are country-dependent.

And no, that scenario is not suspicious at all. Why do you think it would be? That is exactly how the CR-1 works. You can marry anywhere, in the US or abroad, and if you marry in the US you can begin the process when you are still here and file the paperwork, as long as you make sure to leave the country before your B2 status expires. Then you wait out the rest of the process in your home country and once the CR-1 has been issued, you can return and will become a permanent resident.

Thanks for your explanations! I have one more question: they require a bona fide for people that apply for a CR-1 ( phone bills, joint accounts, payments). We don't have any joint accounts or joint property. What can we present then as our bona fine? If we marry and then file petition, and me leaving for home, it is clear that we won't yet have common property or bills, or bank accounts.

You really need to try to relax a bit, girl. If you get married and he's in the US and you are 8,000 miles away in Europe, it's totally normal that you haven't been able to mingle up much. That will happen when you move in together. Everything will be o-kay. They will want to see the marriage cretificate and if possible the photo album of your wedding and . . . ka-ching! . . . boom goes the dynamite.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

OK, I will try to relax;) It is hard to do that though, if one knows about all the requirements:)
