Travelling with over $10,000USD

[Jadakiss 0]

What's the form that I have to fill out if I'm arriving to the states on my k1 visa with more than $10,000 USD? Can someone please send me the link or their experience when you declare it?

Personally I would not travel with that kind of money in my pocket.

There is no limit. Do fill the form though, they are not kidding. I was witness once of a check of someone who failed to declare it.Not fun

There is no limit to the amount you can bring in, but you must disclose amounts over $10,000 and that includes the value of "monetary instruments" you are carrying like checks and gold coins.

Don't want to be a fear-monger, but if you're considering moving around inside the US with a significant amount of cash, you should be aware of the risk of civil forfeiture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_States#Traffic_stops

I had a friend who recently bought a new car with cash. He pulled the money out of his savings account and decided to plunk it down on a new car he was buying. He learned his lesson about how friggen hard it is to even spend over 10 grand when its in cash. It delayed his purchase for days as no one knew how to properly do the paperwork.
