I don't bother with the banks that BTC-e accepts anymore. I do all of my Bitcoin-USD transfers through coinbase.com and just import the BTC into BTC-e. Coinbase is easy and they accepted+verified my bank instantly. I use Chase, a big bank, but they seem to accept all other big banks in the US as well as MasterCard/Visa/etc. Good luck man!

I've never heard of this. Buying and selling Bitcoins locally is a thing now, you say? I've gotta try this.

Thanks for the advice, buying at coinbase will do. Thank you.

+1 for coinbase, only issue is that they charge a bit more for the convenience.

You should buy bitcoins in some other exchanges. Then you can transfer it to the BTC-e. I suggest bitstamp or Mtgox for depositing USD.

I have been looking at this option myself, but with prices at mt Gox and Bitstamp 10-15% higher then at BTC-e this does not seem like a good investment?
