And still unresolved is whether she and her modeling agency properly handled her immigration status during that window.
At issue are 10 modeling jobs in the United States she allegedly was paid for in 1996 before she was granted legal authorization to work in the country, according to a 2016 Associated Press report. The news agency obtained what it described as detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago, which were the basis of a Nov. 5, 2016, article ...

(34,433 posts)Goddamned hypocrites. And I thought she was going to have a presser in 2016 to "explain" her immigration path. I'm still wondering what she did to snag a "genius visa."

(7,142 posts)my work papers were stapled in my passport. Melania should have to produce her work papers, seeing as she herself demanded to see Obama's bc. If she did work under a tourist visa instead of a work visa that means that she lied to customs and immigration when she applied for her citizenship which would make her citizenship invalid.
The way she came and left America back then it appears to me to be most likely that she did work under a tourist visa which makes her an illegal immigrant.
