What fee are we paying to NVC? 

I was wondering that too. 
I know you have to pay the MRV fee and that one is $265 but is there anything else that you need to pay?

Affidavit fee and DS 160 or 260 don’t remember which of the two it is.

It would be the visa application fee and the affidavit of support fee

No AoS fee for K1.  Only MRV fee, which should be paid according to the specific consulate's instructions, not at NVC.

For October Filers (especially early October), As you can see from the graphics below, the USCIS is seeming to move rapidly past October and into December 
similar to what they did with August and Sept Filers.  I would suggest you look for your early inquiry date option and be ready to submit the inquiry as soon as you can following this date.

My post from Nov and Dec Groups:
Now that it looks like December cases will start opening this week (or maybe next), I will start posting on Tues and Friday updates.

The burndown graph will be based on Friday from the week before (so be sure to pay attention to the date).

 

Will also post the December case graphic (in December Groups) once activity starts.
As for Dec Case Activity: 5 "Termination Notices" Sent (K3 Visas), one "Withdrawal", and one "Expedite Denied".

Hopefully they start into us by Friday and ramp up quickly.

So far (Friday to Tuesday) 82 unopened cases started
