It is a new fee that you must pay in order to schedule your interview and even though is says that you pay it at the consulate you don't. It must be paid up front to schedule your interview in Montreal or Vancouver.

Its not a new fee, its the visa application fee that everyone pays before the interview. You can pay at the consulate if you so choose to do so but its much easier to pre-pay online.

So what you're saying is, I don't need to pay another $350 at the consulate?

What I was saying is it is a new fee aside from the fee that the USC would have paid when the petition was first sent in. So yes you do have to pay this additional fee before you can schedule your appointment. They will not schedule your appointment without this fee being paid in advance as my fiancee questioned this and was told that the packet was wrong and that she could not schedule her interview online or over the phone without this fee being paid.

Its all in the options you pick when you go through the website. There is an option you can pick as a K-1 applicant that allows you to book the interview and pay at the US embassy.
