Money Transfer for K1 Recipient

[DJ and MT 1]

We just went through this process.  She will need to get a bank account in the US (or your account) and ask for a "international routing number" for wire transfers.  In Japan, she will need to put her money into the post office banking system.  There, she can wire her money to her/your account in the U.S.   There are some minor fees involved but it's a total of about $25 per transfer.  We were a little concerned about the process so we first sent a small amount ($1000) and it took about 3 days to post.  She then transferred the rest without any problems at all.  

 The money is not "earned" here so it is not taxable.

Was there a limit for the bank office transfer?
