fiancée bringing savings to the US

[D & Luv 0]

Does anyone know what the rules are for how much a fiancee is allowed to bring (of her own savings) into the US when she moves? does the $10,000 limit still apply? I've been saving up for a while, knowing that the transition is going to be expensive and not being able to work for a few months etc.

grateful for any comments.

thx

There is no limit. Anything over 10k must be declared

i came thro LAX (POE) last week ... have just set up a bank account today and wanted to wire the money to myself. I didn't realise i needed to declare it when i went thro POE. how do i declare it now?

no need to declare on a wire transfer.

usually have to file something with the bank when it's over 10K USD - but that's just normal.
