    When a check is cleared it means the money has been verified and you should have it in your account.

    Someone told me that few banks make unnecessary delays in crediting the cleared check payments because of their own interests. Hopefully you'll receive it in couple of days.

    It is supposed to be normal, depending on your country.

    After your check is clear, it might take few days before the money shows up in your bank account but usually it is 10 days or so. What does your bank say about the check? Do they tell any reason for money not showing up yet?

    they said that they send the check for the main bank in Cairo for international deals..and said if the check is ok and has money to cash it will be cashed or if it`s not valid "fraud" the check return to me...!!!
    and in google payment history of that check ..there a line said :"Check cleared: Oct 2, 2006 ..
    that mean that it`s realy cashed
    i said this to the bank..but they have no idea...and tell me to wait..

    Wow. That must be frustrating. I'd ask to speak to a supervisor or manager at the bank and I wouldn't stop harassing them until they gave me a real answer.

    the most confusing thing is that in payment history of that check ..there a line said :"Check cleared: Oct 2, 2006 " ?

    we now on 7 Novembre the bank said ..not cashed yet..
    what the circle the check take or how bank deal with checks?
    is check go to USA again to be cashed or what,what the circle the check take?

    It seems that your bank is holding your funds for some reason. In my country the banks hold the cleared funds of foreign checks for 21 days, but in your case it is way over 21 days, something is fishy...
