USCIS Immigrant Fee: $220 (paid after interview)  
Total Government fees: $1,200

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

under $300 for medical in Morocco

the site does say the immigrant visa fee can be paid in US but best to pay before leaving Morocco

also when filling out the forms make sure you check the box for USCIS to apply for your SS card / a lot easier than going to SS office

all the remaining fees can be paid online / you will get instructions on how to do this when your CSB xxxxxxx number is given
