I receive the standard IRS letter regarding stimulus rebate.
I took this letter and went to SSA office to apply for a SSN for my wife.
Point number 3 in ss-5 clearly says .....
"If you check "Legal Alien Not Allowed to Work," you must provide a document from a U.S. Federal, State, or local government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all of the requirements for the U.S. government benefit. NOTE: Not all U.S. State or local benefits are acceptable for non-work SSN purposes. Contact SSA to see if your reason qualifies.
If you check "Other," you must provide a document from the U.S. government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all of the requirements for a Federal benefit except for the number."
I believe that IRS letter should be treated as a sufficient reason for need of SSN. BUT THEY DIDN'T ENTERTAIN ANY OF THE FACTS AND DECLINED TO ACCEPT APPLICATION FOR SSN.
As long as you qualify for the stimulus payment, you can get a non-work SSN. You qualify as long as you are in the income levels specified, were a resident of the US in 2007 (substantial presence), and were in the US legally (have a valid visa). If you did not file a tax return, then you cannot apply for the SSN.
As far as the Social Security Act is concerned, the law states that they MUST give you a SSN if you qualify for any federally funded benefit. The question is: Is the Economic Stimulus Payment a federal funded benefit. The information in my original post makes a very strong case that it is.
Please post your experiences here, even if you are denied. Remember, the folks in the local SSA offices are bureaucrats, not lawyers, or judges, so don't expect much cooperation. However, if they deny you application, simply write them a short letter saying that you disagree and that you are requesting a "reconsideration."

Schedule A is basically limited to nurses and physiotherapists - I have not heard of any others being included. Radiology professions (MRI, CT techs, etc.) are in high demand but are not include, though i don't know why?

Thanks. I know I am bugging you with my questions because I am filling all the forms today and sending. I have one question :)
For AP documents, it says we can submit any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in US. Now, currently I am on H1B. So should I send them my I797 approval document or EAD copy? Also in there instructions they are asking to send copy of an official photo identity document showing your photo, name & DOB? Can it be PP/DL/EAD?
Your status will be shown buy copy of I485 receipt. AP requires the following:
AP renewal e-filing (to be Mailed):
.... Confirmation Page
.... Two pictures with A# on back, put in envelope and staple to confirmation page
.... Copy of I485 Receipt Notice
.... Copy of previous AP
.... Photo Id such as
........ Copy of Biographic Pages of Passport or
........ Copy of DL or
........ Copy of EAD
.... Letter - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=257924&postcount=20

The reason we see progress year after year with Schedule A and nothing happens in EB reform because there is no corporate support for EB reform. This is one of the reaons why we should be open for measure like 485 whenever possible, even after febuary 15th.
Maybe we need to figure out how we can involve the corporations in EB relief. The only reasons we see Schedule A relief every year because there is a strong health industry lobby driving this. the worst part about this is that these 90,000 and 50,000 which were released last year and they are trying now are comming from the unused\recaptured visas from previous years. there is no country limit in the unused\recaptured visas for Schedule A.
when it comes to us we cannot get unused visas and added to that somebody always tries to add country limit to even unused\recaptured visas. Its a double whammy for EB retrogression. May god help us.

Thanks for devoting a whole paragraph to me.. but wasn't that the point to begin with. "Battering of members publicly or personally" What good does it do to the movement?
I rest my case....
heard you loud and clear,
and usually take complaints very well.
but when someone only complains and spends time undermining us and our efforts elsewhere and when they return only to take potshots...i reserve my right. you are actively harming this organization by your actions and it's not hidden to us, therefore you are retarding our goals- and those will benifit all 25,000 here- active, passive etc. not every person is creating value here and that is the fact. your attitude is childish, i will say it again. it's childish because your purpose is not to improve things in any way or help us achieve our goals but to prove some silly point about how you were treated in the past. but this is the last time i'm bothering, i want to move beyond this. some of us have better things to do than lurk around and wait to score personal points. you have already stated you have no wish to contribute further in any way. so be it.
also know that free speech is all well and good. but no organization will allow it's forums to be used to undermine it's objectives. try doing it on numbers usa or alipac and see how long you last.

Agree completely !!!
Otherwise, It should be allowed to have PD based on my First Port of entry date ?
I still say that they should be allowed to port but should go back in line.
Thanks

More education generally does mean more skill. It does not always mean more pay, but this country has decided to use education and work experience as the criterion for EB category allocation.
You have put this in the best possible way. My allegiance to EB2 as I got my MS degree from US in Tech Major.

we are holding off on webfaxes at this time. We will use this when we need them and will be effective. At this time we urge members to take appointments with their lawmaker offices and go and meet them. These meetings are very important for our success. Thus get active in your state chapters. Organize it if it not organized. If you cannot do it for some reason, then take appointments on your own and go and meet them. While we are making efforts on the hill, it is important to have grassroots level efforts going on across the country

Here is a web page that lists IRS media contacts (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=97242,00.html) and they respond pretty quickly.
The media contacts are for press inquiries. I do recommend that everyone contacts his or her local news organizations though. Not many people are aware of this.

In my opinion, with this global economy - if the spouse is well educated and can work, there should be an opportunity for that person to work (atleast few hours per day).
Sitting at home and taking care of kids for long, can drive a capable/educated individual to psychological issues, which can overall have an impact on family as well as the mental wellbeing of the breadwinner.
What happened to all those Equal rights for women/dependents etc etc groups in the US? Ofcourse I am not saying that all H4 people are women (the majority is women)

Logiclife - Me and my Attorney - had some email exchanges about all this stuff and she compliments all that IV has done and says we must educate people about advocacy
Maybe we should start with organizing some small events/seminars to spread awareness on what can be done and how important advocacy is, most people think that it does not make a difference. We could rope in local organizations
