Are K Visas considered ones labeled K-1, K-3 visas etc.?

Was doing research and it states that K-Visas are exempt from the $165 Immigrant Fee. I was wondering if this is true with any one's experience?

K1 is a NON-immigrant visa. The new immigrant visa fee is paid before the greencard will be issued. A K visa holder doesn't get a greencard upon arrival like those with immigrant visas. You will apply gor the GC after arrival and marriage and pay $1070 for that.
