I think I need a new lawyer, because I can't seem to get a straight answer from the one I have. I paid for my advanced parole and will be having soon. I asked my lawyer how much will it be for the next phase of my process so I can get the money together.

She sent me a spreadsheet with like 3 different figures that I can't make heads or tails out of... I'm tired of riddles and shit. How much did u guys pay to naturalize through marriage?

Not sure, but the application alone is $725:
$640 for application fee
$85 for bio metrics fee

I would do some shopping around.

Naturalize or adjust your status? Those are two different things, you mention advance parole which is something you'd do to clear an EWI before applying for AOS.

To add to what Demise said, you need to (adjust status) to become a permanent resident for 3 years before you can become a U.S. Citizen (naturalize).

That's probably why your lawyer gave you three different figures because you'll need to adjust status first ($1760 forms by itself, not incl. lawyer fees). If your marriage is younger than 2 years when you adjust, you get a conditional green card which you will need to remove conditions at the end of those 2 years ($680 forms). And then applying for citizenship ($725 forms).
