Scrutiny Over Melania Trump’s ‘Einstein Visa’

Melania Trump’s ‘Einstein Visa’ Sparks Renewed Debate Melania Trump is back in the spotlight over how she obtained U.S. citizenship—through the elite EB-1 visa, often called the “Einstein visa.” Reserved for individuals with “extraordinary ability,” the EB-1 is typically awarded to Nobel laureates, Oscar winners, and Olympic athletes. A Washington Post investigation reignited public scrutiny, especially as her husband, Donald Trump, is known for tough immigration policies. Critics question how Melania, then a Slovenian model, met such elite standards. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) highlighted the disparity, comparing Melania’s career to that of high-profile models like Tyra Banks, noting that Melania’s accomplishments may not justify the visa.
