the bank asked me invoices

There is a ruling imposed on banks re a "know your customer" thing. It is also customary on any one deposit over $10K to have a source of funds statement, especially when these funds are from another country.
Your problem could be one of two things:
(a) Your bank is crap. All they need to do is produce a standard form for signing, - the invoice stuff is over the top. Your bank supposed to know you already :-)
(b) This could be a ruling from the central bank. They are normally the people who often randomly tag transactions for verification and banks are obliged to followup with some confirmation docs.
I've never known any bank have a problem with saying stuff like "internet marketing" - it is basically none of their concern, - all they want to be assured of is you are not money laundering/drug dealing. Next time tell them the funds are the profits of whoring - at least you might get a grin and they probably won't ask again:-)
If you are talking of amounts under $10K - you need to dump that bank.
I've only ever had one problem with "source of funds". I sent a Western Union to the US, (less than $500), for a friend to send me some computer parts. That resulted in the lady who cashed the Western Union order being arrested while waiting for her kids to get out of school.
After a couple of hours of interrogation, - during which time she totally refused to discuss anything, - she did volunteer her true ID and the fact she was a government law officer and suggested they get their act together and behave.
I suppose that shows it is not just banks who can be idiots :-)
