Melania's "genius visa"

[AverageOldGuy]

I'm just throwing out some facts -- what you make of this information is up to you.

The "Genius Visa" is a nickname for the EB-1A visa or the O-1 visa, both of which are U.S. immigration options for individuals with extraordinary ability in their field. These visas allow individuals to live and work in the United States based on their exceptional talent and achievements.

Now we learn through FBI documents provided to Senator Wyden that:

The single largest suspicious activity report reviewed by the congressional team was filed in late 2019 by JPMorgan for $1.1 billion. The report covered 4,700 transactions dating to 2003, including payments to women from Belarus, Russia and Turkmenistan. Many of Mr. Epstein’s victims included young women from Eastern European countries.

A young Eastern European woman named Melania Knaus entered the US on a genius visa, in spite of being completely unqualified.

1. I guess she had an "exceptional talent"

[Xipe Totec]

12. If sucking on a shriveled mushroom can be considered a talent, then yes. nt

[Bread and Circuses]

2. May I share my thoughts about Epstein and kidnapping girls?

I know this can be borderline conspiracy. Is there a possibility that Epstein was kidnapping girls from impoverished Eastern European and told them they would be models? Having a young adult woman from Europe who did some lingerie modeling would give credibility …..

Melania is entangled ….

14. I still don't see how Melania has anything to do with this

other than a common proclivity for financially vulnerable women from countries where women were less liberated in their attitudes than western women from more developed countries..

4. Melania's Einstein Visa was actually an Epstein Visa.

Melania's Einstein Visa was actually an Epstein Visa.

5. If I remember correctly,, she entered on a work visa, which expired.. The

Einstein visa came later.

7. what kind of......"work"

[niyad]

13. She was a model, although never one of the best.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

16. Not in the Cindy Crawford or Tyra Banks kind of way.

Now those were "models".

Nudge, nudge, say no more!

[niyad]

17. Never at their level, but she actually did some legitimate modeling early on.

Somebody posted some of the images here several years ago. I thought she looked much better in them. Thaat was before she had all that work done.

[hatrack]

19. "Special", "secret" work . . . .

[Figarosmom]

6. I wonder what she was deemed

An expert in? What was her expertise?

[Skittles]

8. gold digging

yes indeed

11. Got that

... Ok, i just threw up a little. Apologies

9. For accuracy. She did not enter on an Einstein visa. She initially had a visitor's visa,

What is the Einstein visa? And how did Melania Trump get one?

Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.

SNIP---
Mrs Trump came to the US in 1996, first on a tourist visa then later a string of working visas for skilled immigrants, according to her lawyer. She was working as a model in New York when she met Mr Trump at a party in 1998, a relationship that considerably raised her celebrity profile.

SNIP--

Ms McFadden said she had secured EB-1s for a range of diverse specialities, from coaching a specific football position to scientific ballooning. The trick was to define a field narrow enough to excel in, she said, but not too narrow that immigration authorities won't take it seriously.
But where does that leave Mrs Trump?
She does not appear at the time to have excelled in a niche area of modelling, nor won awards or had her work written about in significant publications.
Her lawyer has declined to publish details of her application, so we can't know what she submitted as evidence. But she may have been boosted by high-profile testimonial letters, said Nita Upadhye, a US immigration specialist at NNU Immigration Law.
Testimonials form part of the application, and the more high-profile the reference the more weight it carries. If Mrs Trump, already dating Mr Trump at the time she applied, secured letters from luminaries in fashion, that would be significant, Ms Upadhye said.
"If you're in the acting world, and Quentin Tarantino or Steven Spielberg writes a letter saying you're the next best thing, that can be very persuasive," she said.

SNIP---
"It's about getting testimonials from someone who is extraordinary in their own right and has some name recognition, but who can also attest to specific achievements of the applicant. And I'm sure she probably had some pretty significant letters, maybe from Donald Trump."

18. Thank you.

10. Melania probably is extraordinary ability in her "field"

[MadameButterfly]

15. i'm confused aabout the JP Morgan Billions

and how that relates to 4000 transactions (what kind of transactions?) and women from Eastern Europe.

I'm more confused about what this has to do with Melania. Yes, she comes from Eastern Europe, but does that mean she has anything to do with the JP Morgan thing?

Did JP Morgan do the suspicious activity and did he spend 1.1 billion making payments to women, or did he file a suspicious activity report himself and pay 1.1 billion to do that? How can either scenario have cost 1.1 billion?

Do we have any evidence connecting these women to Epstein?

Sorry if I'm being dense. But there is a lot implied here and little clearly explained.
