Alright just deposited it at the bank.
Two things to note-
1.) My teller, who I've been going to for a while and has never given me any sort of feedback when cashing checks from outside of the US, said "give me a second.... the check is from outside of the country, I need to see the procedure *stutters over words*, for checks out of the country"..... I think oh great, something is wrong and he isn't telling me. He turned to his right and stared at one of the bank executives, then came back to the window and drew a line on the back of the check. I don't know what he did but nobody instructed him how to do whatever, and then he was done.
2.) The check, I realized on the way there, had a zipcode that was inaccurate. The first 4 numbers were correct, and the last was three off. Just a small detail I noticed, no big deal.
This isn't clearing no way. The bank name was a trusted one though. Let's hope.
Also, you guys may not believe me but I'd remiss if I didn't mention PAULIE WALNUTS from the Sopranos was in there! He was at one of the side desks doing business or something, saw him as he was leaving. I couldn't believe it. He lives around the neighborhood I've always heard.
