Legal Fee and Expense Deductions

Post by dacrosby »

Pub 529 explains miscellaneous deductions. Legal fees concerning employment are eligible, but I was wondering about everything else associated with the immigration process. For instance, would USCIS filing fees be eligible? How about the medical exam, fees for a criminal background check, expenses that you pay to the lawyer?
