Bank is suspicious of my checks... what do I do?

(Note: I found another recent post describing this same experience but it didn't have any updates so I don't know if/how OP resolved it)

I just tried to deposit my first two checks today and the woman at the counter was acting really sketched out. She asked me if I was being asked to give the money back to anyone, what kind of work I was doing (I said freelance art online), and suggested the checks might be fraudulent. She went and talked to someone for a few minutes then returned to tell me I have to wait 30 days. She then asked where I live, if I go to school, etc. I'm scared she thinks I'm being trafficked or something. I'm staying with family so the last thing I need is to have the cops show up at my door. What do I do?

Edit: I forgot to mention that at the end she asked to see my ID and had me sign the back of each check
