Does it matter that they get married here in the US and she is applying for CR1 from overseas?

They can get married here (check the requirements with the state), she can leave the US after the wedding and start the CR1. I also got married in the US, left the US and we filed for the CR1

You are a good friend making an effort to help them. Be sure you tell your friend to consult a couple of immigration attorneys , just so they can effectively evaluate their options. Worth the effort and the consult fee .

Gotcha. First married since 2017 and naturalized in early 2021 and got divorced judgement early to mid 2022 and planning to remarry early 2023. So that’s like remarrying one year after divorce and two years after naturalization and five year after first marriage. 
 

He has all the year of tax returns, lease, pictures, co-sign loan doc, insurance, account statements and credit cards. These accounts are now closed but he still has statements 

Seems well planned

Suspicion might still arise because of the red flags @Mike E mentioned.

You should tell your friend to really think about his future with his partner and consider the alternative of living back in their home country OR Scotland if it is viable if consular processing is dragged out (due to USCIS scrutinizing the case).

One thing VJ is great at is preparing you for the worst case scenario. As it stands, everything could workout BUT sometimes USCIS will pick a case to investigate and leave the couple no choice but to relocate to another country. 

Good luck! And tell your friend I am happy they found happiness so soon after the end of their previous relationship.

Thanks for you all comments. I am reading everything everyone is saying some +ve and others -ve. My previous marriage was not a scam marriage and I can speak to it and provide all the needed evidence. I am not a newbie to the AOS process. All I was asking was to evaluate my options outside filing i485. I enjoyed time with my ex wife but things didn’t work out unfortunately after four years. Was not an easy seven months divorce  process cos it was hard for me. Nothing is written that I have to stay xyears unmarried and not marry a foreigner. So if USCIS wants to scrutinize they are free to as well not that there are skeletons in the cupboard or anything. Thanks for your contributions you all.

Your passion for your relationship is admirable @KingJames234... members here are just warning you about potential issues so you can best prepare yourself.

And think about it, USCIS will not tell you what NOT TO DO if they are trying to stop fraud... LPRs are allowed to file for their spouses if they've been divorced less than 5 years if they produce a waiver... USCIS will not outline the indicators of fraud because then people will make sure to navigate around those indicators1.) waiting until they are USCs before divorcing  2.) make sure they are divorced X amount of years before"meeting" someone from their home country... 3.) making sure that partner doesn't adjust and they go through consular processing... 

We are telling you about the red flags your case already has. Everything could work out without issue but the members here are trying to tell you to not AOS or to make sure you are 100% about this relationship if you've just met the person because USCIS might suspect alternative motives behind your petition and you petitioning your partner.

Thank you so much for even trying to stir me correctly and I appreciate it. I talk to my fiancée and we will move forward with the CR1 even if it takes longer she doesn’t want to also be home 8-12months when she has a good job back home. So we will wait and I can use that avenue to explore Europe more often ha ha and continue to know eachother. 
Since I won’t attend the interview overseas, I will submit evidence to back my previous marriage during the I130 application and if they need more evidence I can submit them as well. 
 

Thanks a lot and I appreciate looking out for us.
