Answer 1

It will depend on a variety of factors, including the banks involved and whether you sent it directly to a bank.  Andhow did you send it?  By mail?  If so you have to add in the days for mail delivery.  Count on 5 to 7 business days for mail delivery, and then another 3 to 5 business days to clear in the bank.  It could be faster, but it should be taken care of for sure in that period of time.  Best of luck.
