Melania Trump’s visa drama explained.
Melania Trump is under fire again—but this time, it’s not about fashion or frosty hand-holding.
Melania’s background revealed.
Before she was First Lady, Melania Knauss was a Slovenian model navigating the U.S. immigration system.
She first arrived in the United States in the mid-1990s on a visitor visa, reportedly switching between work and tourist statuses.
In 2001, Melania received an EB-1 visa—a rare immigration path nicknamed the “Einstein visa.”
The EB-1 is typically reserved for those with “extraordinary ability,” such as Nobel winners, Olympic athletes, or acclaimed artists.
