Two last minute POE questions:

--At POE, can we change the address where the Green Card will be mailed or will it necessarily go to the address that is listed on the DS230?

--How much cash are we allowed to carry in person without having to declare it to customs?

Thanks in advance!

1. Yes, but suggest you use the online 'change of address' as well.

2. 10,000 usd, but even if you have more, and declare it, it's NOT viewed as taxable monies in the USA.

You should not put cash in your check-in luggage. The size of the carry-on limits it to about 30 Million Dollars per person, if tightly packed. You will raise some eyebrows when they take you into a separate room to show it. I know from experience . . .

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
