Trust me we did. The rule is tourist visa to USA you have to prove you can afford to sustain yourself, cash or a credit card works., the visa company who booked her flight did not advise of the new added Covid test requirement nor the cash show which we had in China but converted it to the bank check with their knowledge.
.
I offered her my credit card info,as I plan to pay for the visit but that would not suffice.
Am I over reacting mailing the check rather than have her bring it and of course report it on flight?
I am not trying to pry into your business but your answers are confusing me.
A B1/B2 may require proof of funds to support stay. There is no set amount/source.
What are you referring to as "gov owned mail carrier"?
She was denied a boarding pass but had a B1/B2 visa?
Please just have the money deposited into your bank account. No need to have the check mailed or carried. Are you sure it is a legitimate check? I have inherited money from overseas, & I always had it wired & deposited. Safe & convenient.
I agree with those who said please read up on scam artists.
OP, can you ask the person/company who issued the check to cancel it and do a bank transfer instead? I would be interested in what they say and why they would even consider doing a paper check.
Here you are worried about how you're going to get it. Have you even considered that your bank won't accept it?
She converted it to a bank check mis understanding me when I said leave the cash in the Hong Kong bank but bring you blank check book when you visit. So she had them make a bak check not bring blank checks.
Ups says thei will not ship bank drafts so I am preparing the disclosure documents as the next best course. It’s no scam .

Correct she has a valid 2 yr tourist visa. We had funds in her bank account so the embassy could check wncd condfirm she had enough to support her visa allowed travels, $14k was amount required in bank account. But company we hired said funds can be sent back to you after visa issued. They were wrong she was denied flight as she did not have 6 to 7k cash nor in her bank account as funds were used to,purchase the bank check in my name, meaning only accessible to me but I’m here and the check is there.

My bank will accept it no problem of course I checked that. The bank who issued it won’t do a thing with it without my in person instruction and I’m not planning to go for a while.,worse comes to worse I pick it up,in 6 months when I go there. But the declaration form is something I can prepare and send to her to carry with the check and the required cash to show so she can come here using her valid visa.
It is now a new requirement in Hong Kong as of Thursday night. The company who helped us get the visa was not aware of. This or the show the cash at the airport requirement. We had funds we showed to the embassy but my friend converted the cash to a bank check payable tome only. I am here, the check is there and the bank won’t reverse the transaction. I don’t need the money back now but want it back eventually just like the funds we now have to show at the airport. I can use those funds to pay for the trip,etc.
