Once the I-130 is approved, that's where the $335 comes into play. I think it's the same whether you file for Adjustment of Status or let the paperwork go through to the consulate.

Kim,
If a K3 becomes a Permanent Resident by adjustment of status there's no immigrant visa involved, and so no immigrant visa fee to be paid.

$335 is the cost for the Immigrant Visa - you'll probably have to pay $100 for the K3.

Wouldn't the status of permanent resident be a visa in of itself?
I don't understand why one would require a fee and the other wouldn't.

Just checked the USCIS website - AOS application fee is $315

Re: K-3 interview fees
Kim,
No, status is not a visa. And adjustment of status is not a visa.
When you say "one would require a fee and the other wouldn't", what is the "one" and what is "the other"? Adjustment of status and immigrant visa?
If so, yes, they both require a fee, but they are 2 different fees for 2 different things - even though they both bring one to the same end point, status as a Permanent Resident.
A person who adjusts status pays a fee to have their I-485 application processed, but they do not pay a fee for an immigrant visa that they haven't applied for.
Conversely, a person who choses to apply for an immgrant visa pays a fee to have their immigrant visa application processed, but they do not pay a fee for an adjustment of status that they haven't applied for.
