The K-1 also involves filing AOS after getting here, it's a seperate fee at a different time but it's still part of the cost because unless you're buying a slave AOS will need to be filed. A k-3 may not have to file the AOS (which is $1010). The K-3 is cheaper long run, but takes longer (I don't know the prices off hand). In either case there is a visa application fee, I don't know if it's the same fee across the board at all countries but it's 131 in the philippines, and I think it is a flat fee regardless of country.

Based on igor's list, people rarely seem to choose the k-3 option over the k-1 option, I believe mostly because it takes longer to process before a visa is issued.
