well yes it's google's choice but may be soon it will be available here in india as well but till then it's the stupid check for me. Takes months to clear but still it's better then having nothing.
It di take me some time to reach it ,almost 3 months but finally i did receive it and not just get banned like some unlucky hard workers.
Congratulations. I also just received my wire for November - $339,39 I won't get anything this month though, as December was bad for me... but it's getting better now... so I will get a new wire transfer late February..
