www.visajourney.com has a link to the forms and fees. Heck, you'll find an answer more accurately and quickly there than you would here.
Many a BCIS form requires that you dish out some $. Regardless of your having paid to file forms I-130/I-129F ($185 and $165, respectively), the BCIS gravy train has many stops. And the fees are so freaking high because you're subsidizing those "passengers" who, for example, are asylum seekers/refugees/parolees and need such niceties as legal representation.
"Choice of Agent and Address Form": The "agent" and "address" would be you and your home address. You are the petitioner acting as your novia/wife's agent in the petition process.
She does require a notarized copy of the affidavit of support and the most recent 3 years of your tax returns when she goes for her interview. I requested free transcripts of my returns from the IRS, and they arrived in less than a week. They include the line entries from the forms you filed at tax time, such as "Wages, salaries, Tips, etc.," "Adjusted Gross Income," "Taxable Income," the date your return was filed, the date the IRS processed your return, the form number you used to file, exemptions claimed, etc.
*burp*...I think I got most of that right. If I didn't, I'll lighten' up on the tequila the next time I respond.
Peace out!
