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.
The conversation quickly gained traction on social media, with some users pointing out perceived contradictions between Donald Trump’s immigration stance and his family’s history.
Discussions also touched on broader questions about how immigration laws are applied to high-profile or well-connected individuals.
The EB-1 visa requires applicants to demonstrate extraordinary ability in fields like the arts or sciences through peer-reviewed accomplishments, awards, or competition results.
Critics have argued that Melania Trump’s career may not clearly meet these qualifications, suggesting that political or personal connections might have played a role.
