    Oversea dependent
    My mom and dad both are retired, and have no SSN in US. Last year I bought them tickets from Thailand, and they had lived with me for 3 weeks. Can I claim them as dependent? Or can I get any deductions for food, transportation, or trevel expense that I paid while they are here?

    You cannot neither claim them as dependents nor deduct their travel costs.
