I'm not in the US,
I contacted the sponsor to inform a missing payment and was told to wait at first, it was only later that i have been told that the check was cleared outside my jurisdiction. it was less than 3 weeks before the theft was noticed and informed.
I asked the sponsor to act fast and like i said I had to wait 4 months for an answer.
These were 4 long months that were more than enough for the bank to inform the foreign that they will not pay for that check.
Is it really me who should be responsible for that check?
the check was not made unendorsable / not negotiable. so there was absolutely no way to protect it.
Is that my fault?
This time it's me.. next time it can be anybody
