    H-1B expense
    Hello,

    I have a quick question. I spent $6250 for my H-1 visa. The employer did not pay for it. I paid it from my pocket. This includes attorney fees and INS fees.

    Can I consider this amount as part of my unreimbursed business expense?

    Thanks,
    Stanley.

    Yes, it is considered a valid employee business expense.
