In reply to the discussion: Melania Trump got green card through program for people with extraordinary ability: report [View all]FakeNoose
(39,998 posts)55. Melania's case is a little different
She was already dating Trump and she had at least temporary employment. I'm wondering if he had some of his "best" lawyers look into it and find some way to get her in.
On the other hand, anyone in Melania's situation trying to do it on their own, probably wouldn't get past Square One. That's what I meant by the roadblocks they seem to put up to discourage people.
If you're lucky enough to know Bill Gates or Donald Trump, it's a different story. I wouldn't call this the "Einstein Pass" it's more like the "Privileged Rich Pass." But I could be wrong about this, I'm hoping somebody on DU knows more than I do.

OP
She is white and NOT Muslim, so she gets a pass in Trump World...isn't that the true answer?

Hmmm. If she lied on her EB-1 App that she had a degree, that's a felony I believe.

Staying with the creep Trump is evidence of extraordinary ability and bad judgement.
