K-1's have to pay fees at the consulate. We have paid all our fees, the only thing left (other than medical) is the envelope for the courier service to deliver the visa.

No, you shouldn't have to pay any more fees. On the interview letter, under the Document Status, there should be a notation that all fees have been received. You will be issued the visa on the same day as your interview unless their system is down. In that case, you can pay to have them mail the passport to you or you can return the next day to pick it up. :)
