advice needed please

[touristvisa]

I am on a visitor visa here in status and my feoncy is a permanent resident giving interview for citizenship next month. my confusion is whether to marry her here and file for GC or go back to my home country, get married and apply for immigration there. I am not sure which one works better so please advice

is up to you. For as long you did not enter the USA with the intention to marry and file for a GC, you can do that and be just fine. It is cheaper to go through AOS (i-130/i-485) than to go through a CP or K3.

You also must wait until the naturalization ceremony; she will not be a citizen until that date (attending interview does not grant you any benefit),
