Yep, both of your advice about getting this in front of the wire department did the trick. They found that the payment was held up because it was somehow not being routed through the correct overseas entity (this is for an overseas client). Having a good point of contact at the branch where I opened the account helped a lot too. Thanks!

Thank you for your advice, this is seriously helpful. Re: Business, this was only a short-term contract that started after a startup I work for was acquired. I'm not a contractor or a businessman, and I'm already back working as a permanent employee somewhere else now. That my bank is in California while I am in Massachusetts makes raising hell a bit more difficult. Why it is an "emergency" has more to do with family law matters and less so that I can't put food on my table.

Thanks again.
