Transfering the money to trusts requires a 3520 form:

- stickydink 13y agoThanks for pointing that out. Though, it's a little more complex (and intrusive) than that. I'm on an H-1B; every year the FBAR needs to be filed detailing how much money there is back home. Regardless of how it was earned, or whether it existed before I started working in the US.
