I just discovered that there is a processing fee of $335 for the DS-230, is that accurate?

What are all the costs involved for the fiance when filing at the consulate?

For USC fiancé(e), the cost of the I-130.

The visa fee must be paid by beneficiary AT the consulate (or slightly beforehand, depending on the country where located).

(and, BTW, Immigrant Visa fee is outside the glister of K-1 anyway).

We don't have to fill out an I-130

On the US Department of State website, it lists a fee of $335 for the DS-230 and I have to fill that form out.

The $335 is not for Fiance' K-1 applicants--the fee for K-1 is only $100. K-1 Fiance and K-3 is handled as a non-immigrant during this phase.

Ooooh okay :) It gets a little confusing with the immigrant/non-immigrant stuff. Thanks for clarifying guys! I found out today that my packet 3 is on the way.. it seems with each new step I have more things to think about. AAh!
