Cuba Portal VJ'ers - Can you provide any insight as to whether this applies to K-1 Visa Applicants? I got this straight off the U.S. Interests Section Website found here: http://havana.usint.gov/immigrant-visas-consular-fees.html

NEW! CONSULAR INFORMATION
  • Effective February 1, 2013, USCIS will require immigrant visa recipients to pay an additional fee of $165 USD. The fee covers the costs to process, produce and issue documents, such as your Green Card.

    Immigrant visa recipients must pay the fee prior to traveling to the United States.Payments are made online atwww.USCIS.gov/ImmigrantFee. Paymentscannot be made at the U.S. Interests Section. Payments can be made with either a credit or debit card or via transfer from a U.S. bank account. Anyone can pay the USCIS immigrant fee on behalf of the visa recipient. The Alien Number and Case ID are necessary to make the online payment.

    For more information, please visithttp://www.uscis.gov/.

That $165 fee is not applicable because it is an "immigrant visa fee" and the K1 is a non-immigrant visa. It's an admin cost for printing the green card from what I can tell, and as mentioned above, that admin cost is already rolled into the $1070 fee for those that enter as non-immigrants and adjust their status.
