Yes, you are entitled for UI.
2 :
Your adjustment of status was just approved? What was your status for the 19 months prior to being laid off in March 2009? Were you legally authorized to work for that entire time? Were you a regular employee, taxes withheld, W-2s issued? If you were legally authorized to work, taxes withheld, etc, then chances are that the employer paid into the Unemployment Insurance fund and you are eligible. You may have to explain why you waited 6 months after losing your job to file a claim. Also, if you haven't worked in the past 6 months, you have lost a great deal of the credits earned, and your benefits are probably about half what they would have been if you had filed timely. If you were not legally present and/or not authorized to work, were paid under the table, or the employer did not report your employment and pay into the Unemployment Insurance fund on your behalf, you get nothing. Not eligible for benefits.

Do you own the company -- own the stock? Did you come here on an investor visa? If you came here on an investor visa, you are required to hire Americans and forbidden to hire relatives. If you own a company but are not on an investor visa, you must fullfill a great many requirements to be able to hire a foreign worker. You have to register your company legally (incorporate, etc). You must submit an application to the Dept of Labor to get labor certification -- you must prove that there are no Americans qualified to perform the job, that it pays at least the prevailing wage in your area for that type of work, that you advertised the job vacancy for at least 6 months (and you need to keep every application that came in!). If you get labor certification, then you need to apply with immigration for a work visa of the appropriate class for this type of job, prove there is no American available to fill the job, and prove this person you are applying for is fully qualified to do the work. The person must hold the appropriate university degree(s), have at least two years experience, etc. and you must submit the documentation. It will take you a couple of years to do all this, and your cousin must remain in the Philippines while you do it all. The job market is so bad in the US right now that it will be extremely difficult for you to prove that there is no American qualified for the job. Your chances of getting the visa for him are poor unless he is exceptionally well educated and well qualified. Also note that work visas are temporary and you will need to repeat the process before you can renew it (if it is a renewable visa).

yea what the last guy said...but you won't be able to play games from india...because your ps3 is america region coded and india's are a different region code. (incase you didn't know that)

Open the cover of your play station, I think you should be able to find a jumper wire on the circuit board. The jumper wire is usually located very near the power supply. There should be some indication as to how to convert from 220-110 operation.
