Melania Says She Received 'Einstein Visa' Because She Was Such a Successful Model, ' I Did So Well!'

The Slovenia-born Melania Trump has been a U.S. citizen since 2006, but some, like The Washington Post, have questioned how she was able to secure her EB-1 visa in the first place.

And the Trumps certainly aren’t rushing to explain her good luck, despite Donald Trump promising to hold a press conference on the matter.

In 2000, Trump (then-Knauss) was dating Trump and applying for the so-called “Einstein visa,” usually reserved for those with “extraordinary ability.”

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the eligibility criteria for the EB-1 includes professors, researchers, multi-national managers and executives, and those with “extraordinary ability,” which requires applicants to provide evidence of a one-time achievement such as a Pulitzer Prize or Olympic medal, or show that they have met 3 of the 10 listed criteria including “published material about you in professional or major trade publications or other major media” and “performance of a leading or critical role in distinguished organizations.”

"I keep thinking about Melania's zed card.

If you aren't near the modeling business, a zed card or a comp card is the modeling equivalent of a headshot. It's slightly different, because their stats will be on it and headshots are mostly of the actor's, well, head."

"A zed card will have at least one full-body shot. Back before the Internet, this was the only way models could be submitted for work. As the assistant to a casting director back then, I saw thousands of these. It was both my work and a fun way to assure I always felt fat."

It gets more interesting.

"The next time she's working, it's because she's dating some old guy in New York and she's sort of famous. There are literally no pictures of her work.

"But what about the nude ones with the girl?"

Yeah, that's not modeling the way she tries to present herself."

"Which brings me to my point, which I am going to present very, very delicately.

There's a decade she can't account for.

There's are nude pictures featuring implants which, besides being shoddy work, make her too big for top-level fashion modeling."

Many were air-brushed to extremes and what you say on the cards did not match reality. Damn, I'd love to be able to see hers.

Interesting, thanks for posting it.

Research and reporting to dig up her past, provided that is evdn possible. If she was FSB or GRU, I'm sure there will be nothing to find except dead end streets, maybe with a few bodies along the way.

In 1971, when my British future wife-to-be applied for her Green Card, she was asked some pretty detailed questions. Plus she could pass for a model, but had teaching credentials. She could find countries on a map if asked. Even then the INS was skeptical of our relationship.
