    Can I claim travel to home country expense to stamp H1B?
    I'm working in US under H1B since Oct 2006 and I am a Malaysian citizen.
    I went back to Malaysia in December 2007 to get my H1B visa stamped, can I claim the travel expense - airfare, fees, etc? If so, can I claim 100% of the expenses? And, are there specific forms to file the claim on?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    No you can deduct the expenses. They are personal expenses.
