First Lady Melania Trump’s ‘Einstein visa’ raises questions after people think they’ve spotted issue with it
Critics are questioning the validity of Melania Trump, after looking into a so-called ‘Einstein visa’ which she holds.
As per an investigation by the Washington Post, Melania Trump’s US citizenship came about via a visa reserved for immigrants with ‘extraordinary ability’ and ‘sustained national and international acclaim’.
The government cites Pulitzer Prize, Academy Award and Olympic winners as examples of people who are eligible for such a visa.
Online users have been asking questions about the First Lady’s eligibility and whether she meets such a high threshold, at a time when her husband Donald Trump is focusing on deportations.
“Melania Trump qualified for a visa that’s typically reserved for individual with extraordinary ability while Trump targets student visas at Harvard.”, one poster on X wrote.
They alleged: “Melania did not qualify for Einstein Visa, but she got one.”
Another shared a video of Texas Democratic representative Jasmine Crockett, when she argued about why Melania had the visa during the ‘Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process’ hearing on Wednesday.
Sharing her video, the user praised her line of questioning: “Why did Melania Trump get an Einstein visa? Great question Rep Crockett.”
“Melania, the first lady, a model – and when I say model, I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford or Naomi Campbell-level – applied for and was given an EB1 visa,” Crockett continued.
“It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the math ain’t mathin’ here.”
The user went on the attack: “While Trump is revoking visas, targeting international students, remember that his wife, Melania, came to America on the Einstein visa, a pathway to US permanent residency for individuals with ‘extraordinary ability’ in their field.”
Susan McFadden, a specialist US visa lawyer at the Gudeon and McFadden law firm in London, told the BBC: “You do not have to be a Nobel prize winner to get the extraordinary ability visa.
“I’ve gotten EB-1 visas for people you’ve never heard of and never will.”
