H1 Visa holders r considered as citizens while filing taxes.Only for tax purposes ,u r treated as citizen.So,I know,u should be getting it. I don't know why that guy who filed your tax said u won't be getting anything.Just check and find out.If u had filed online u should get by now,but if u had mailed your tax papers,then,I think u'll get only in the middle or end of may(I forgot the exact date.).
