Melania Trump’s journey to U.S. citizenship has sparked discussion as her husband, former President Donald Trump, has campaigned on strict immigration policies. During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas questioned the former First Lady’s approval for an EB-1 “extraordinary ability” visa—sometimes called the “Einstein visa,” which is typically awarded to individuals with outstanding achievements such as Nobel laureates or Olympic champions.
Representative Crockett remarked, “It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math doesn’t add up,” highlighting concerns over whether Melania’s modeling career met the stringent criteria for this visa category.
