Hi,
I am currently on H1-B as a full time employee and do itemize deductions.
Can I claim the following as deductions? If so under which category on 1040
1. Green Card related fees. For example, I had to go to a doctor and pay him close to $600 for a mandatory medical checkup required to file I-485 application
2. Visa stamping fees.
I went to India on vacation, but had to pay close to $250 in visa processing fees to come back to work in US.
3. Other expenses (travel & lodging) to get Visa stamped?
4. Internet connection fee as I need it to support work (am on production support on call 2 weeks per month)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Praveen

1. No, personal expenses are not allowed.
2. No
3. No
4. Yes, a part of your total expenses as employee business expenses on shedule A.

Generally, I agree.

Since my company is not paying a penny for my green card process... would position advertisement fee (around $500) can be deduct then?

Nope!
