I am in H4 Visa. I tried to apply for SSN but I was refused for the reason "H4 are not eligible for SSN".
My questions are:
1) Can I get a SSN in my H4 Visa? Are there any ways like requesting a letter from my husband's company and giving it to SSN office?
2) Other problem is "Economic Stimulus Payment Notice" from IRS. As most everyone know about this, qualified individual receive as much as $ 600 if they are single and $ 1,200 if married filing jointly. My husband is in H1B, has SSN but he was rejected for this $ 1,200 refund. The reason given by IRS was both husband and wife should have have SSN no. to claim this refund. My husband's argument is atleast he is eligible for the $ 600 refund as he has SSN number. Talking (arguing) to them for about 45 minutes helped us nothing. Is there any other way that we could solve this.
Anyone's help would be highly appreciated.
