Excerpts:
In all, of the more than one million green cards issued in 2001, just 3,376 – or a fraction of one percent – were issued to immigrants with “extraordinary ability,” according to government statistics.
Melania Trump’s ability to secure her green card not only set her on the path to US citizenship, but put her in the position to sponsor the legal residency of her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs. The Washington Post reported they obtained their own citizenship.
The biggest question people often have is how did Melania convince immigration authorities that she qualified for the EB-1 program?
Morrison, the former congressman and immigration expert, said that Melania Trump’s resume in 2001 seems “inconsistent” with the requirements of the visa.
The process of deciding who meets the “extraordinary ability” standard is subjective, said Sarah Pierce, an immigration expert at the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank. But it is generally thought that only the top two percent of people in their field would qualify, she said, adding that the “quintessential award you want to put on the application is Nobel Prize.”
