Not visa related but already got good advice in the group. We are returning and arriving May 6th. Had applied and was approved for test and go. Hotel is refunding all but the room rate. My question is about bringing and depositing a certified check. We just sold property in the US. How long normally, from experience does it take for banks to clear and have monies into your account? I'm thinking this is more cost effective that depositing in the US and transferring monies.
