I-51 Visa- What is the maximum cash allowed to fly in ?

[sylvie.marc]

Hello,
A friend of mine got her I-51 visa approved and stamped on her passport. She is planning to enter the US in September. What is the maximum cash amount that she can bring with her as she will fly in to enter the US ( She does not have her Social Security Number yet and will need to use cash when she arrives in the US before getting her SSN and opening a bank account in the UA).
Please advise. Thank you in advance

You can bring unlimited amounts of cash in but you need to declare cash (and equivalent) amounts of $10000 and over. They may ask about source of funds for that amount.
