Ranjeet Kumar and wife, Minanshu Jha, holds a copy of their tax forms at their home in San Jose, Calif., Friday, May 9, 2008.  Over a million legal immigrants and Americans who married foreigners will be missing out, cut off by a provision meant to prevent illegal immigrants from getting their economic stimulus checks.

They file taxes jointly, which means they won't get the $1,200 that other qualifying married couples like them would get.
