@harayo brother: As far as I know if you do not have a social security card I don't think you will be able to get the refund. Sorry brother. I tried it a few years ago when I did not have a social and my friends told me that I won't be able to get the money back. But you might still want to do some more research before giving up. Hey 1000 bucks is quite a bit of money. Ali effort lagayera khoji
