I was reluctant to start a new thread but it may be the quickest way to find an answer.
I know I can bring in $5000 and it may even be $7000 now without having to declare anything. I know also that you can bring more if you do declare it. My questions are
1. What is the max you can declare
2. Does it have to be for a special purpose or can you bring in $40000 and just declare it.
My wife and I are planning on buying a house and I want to start bringing my US savings here.
