Is there a filing fee attached to form DS-160?

[bolin786 21]

I finally found the most recent K1 Visa filing fee of $535.00.  I also note that when I review the instructions on online filing of form DS-160, it implies there is a fee.  I have difficulty finding the fee. There is a USCIS link that I believe mentions this fee of $265.00.  The link is : https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/fees/fees-visa-services.html  Please let me know if I am correct or not. The above info implies that the beneficiary has to bring the equivalent of $265.00 US dollars to the interview to pay for the visa, besides the file fee of $535.00 I would appreciate any help. Thanks,

Yes. Ds160 is a separate fee.

Correct. Filing Form DS-160 is free of charge. 

The $265 fee is for your K1 Visa Interview. 

I paid this fee on https://ais.usvisa-info.com/ when I scheduled the interview.

dont forget the beneficiary also has to have a medical and get any missing vaccinations. 

 

and police reports, and certified copeis of documents, etc 

 

(in case you are just trying to figure out the general cost of this whole fiasco lol)
