Hi everyone, i’m honestly not sure if this is the right subreddit but it made the most sense. We live in the U.S and my husband was in the process of selling land in Iraq for the past year. It finally sold for around 100k but with the transfer and taxes he got a check with about 55k. He has the bill of sale which is in Arabic and he has the check. That’s it. We want to use this to buy a house but i’m paranoid that when we deposit it the bank is going to flag it or something. Is there anything else we have to do before it’s deposited? Is the original bill of sale being in Arabic going to be an issue? Is there any other forms we need to fill out or anything of the sort. If it makes a diffrence the land was his fathers first and he’s had that land for years. His dad then transfered it to my husbands name and we sold it for under a year. Sorry in advanced for all the grammar or spelling errors english is hard lol.

Does the check come from a US bank? You probably can’t deposit it foreign check anyway.
Your husband should have the buyers bank wire his US bank account. That’s the easiest way. People do it all the time and it’s not unusual.
