If you have a US Dollar account, simply deposit the cheque, it would then go for onward clearing to Wells-Fargo (which can indeed take between 4-8 weeks).

If you do not have a US Dollar account then your best bet is to ask Wells-Fargo how to have it deposited or cashed (if possible).

Your cheque may not have an expiration date on it - but depending on the country you are depositing in, the central bank may set rules, in many developing countries a cheque deposited after 180 days is deemed expired.
