K1/K2 is non-immigrant so you are not required to pay the $165.

A K-1 is a non-immigrant visa so no need to pay an immigrant visa fee. The K-1 entrant does not need anything from the USC petitioner to enter the US. They need the sealed envelope from the consulate and their passport with visa affixed inside.

That is exactly what I thought, But this morning my fiancee scan me the seal envelop for my daughter(k2) and it is mentioned on it that I should pay $165 with credit card online or at the port of entry.

The strange thing is that they only required that for my daughter not , my wife. Can anyone giveme more details about this?

No fee for a K-2 either. The K-2 is a non-immigrant derivative of the non-immigrant K-1. The K-2 will also have to adjust status when the K-1 does. That fee does not apply, so I would just ignore that. Don't pay for something that does not apply to your visa type.
