    I am taking a recent bank statement to my embassy interview, I have roughly $1900 and also have a paid job lined up (offer letter to support this).

    On entering the U.S. through immigration, would a bank statement and offer letter stating the paid wage amount suffice? I am a bit iffy about bringing a lot of cash with me (apparently you should bring about $1000?!), was just going to withdraw money as needed from ATMs until I get my U.S. bank and then transfer it online.

    A bank statement and your offer letter should definitely be enough. You don't need to bring cash with you, just have access to it to support yourself.

    However, immigration at the airport may not even ask for this. I have never been asked for it.

    Usually if you have a paid job lined up they won't ask you, I've never been asked. Also if they do ask you it will more than likely be at the Embassy interview rather than at Border Patrol.
