There have been problems recently with AdSense checks being accepted in several countries lately. AdSense payments department is working on wire transfer or EFT type of direct deposits to bank accounts in these countries, but there have been a few snags. When it is running smoothly for the "test countries", they plan to expand it to other countries. Not much more anyone can tell you other than, AdSense is aware of this problem and working rapidly to establish an equitable method of electronic payment. Western Union is apparently not being considered as an option any longer either, in most cases.
