Was Melania Trump Once an Undocumented Immigrant? Spokeswoman Denies Claim as Questions Resurface
By Jessica Kwong On 6/25/18 at 4:09 PM EDT
Days before the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press reported that Melania Trump was paid more than $20,000 for 10 modeling jobs in the U.S. seven weeks before she obtained a work visa in October 1996.
Another inconsistency is that Wildes in August 2016 told Univision that Melania Trump got her green card "based on marriage" in 2001, but there was no indication that she'd been in a marriage before tying the knot with Donald Trump in 2005.
A month later, Wildes, in a letter that Melania Trump shared on Twitter, backtracked on his comment to the television station. He wrote, "Mrs. Trump did not receive her green card through marriage. Rather, in 2000, she self-sponsored herself for a green card as a model of 'extraordinary ability,' and on March 19, 2001, she was admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident."
Immigration attorneys and experts said it was unlikely that Melania Trump, a former model who appeared mostly in catalogs and ads, qualified for the elite EB-1 program reserved for applicants with "an extraordinary ability."
