Melania Trump's immigration status remains controversial

In August, the billionaire has pledged that his Slovenian wife Melania will answer questions on a personal aspect with regards to her immigration status. However, a forth coming news conference remains to be seen.

Melania Trump has come under frequent scrutiny when the New York Times published nude photos of her. Observers have cited that the pictures were taken in 1995. This is where the initial complication emerged. Based on her statement, Melania arrived in the U.S. in 1996 with a visa.

If this is true, then her declarations may be in conflict with the date of her bare images. It does not actually help her cause when she issues a response reiterating her full compliance with America's immigration laws or when she blamed inaccurate reporting and misinformation.

In Harper's Bazaar, the former model and jewelry designer pointed out that she would return home from New York to renew her visa every few months until such time that she finally applied and got her green card in 2001.

A second confusion may have surfaced. According to David Leopold, an immigration lawyer from Cleveland and former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, shuttling from Slovenia to the U.S. and vice versa will mean that Melania is on a visitor visa, which does not concur employment. If she actually did work then her stay in the U.S. can be fraudulent.

Before inquiries started to pile up about Trump's real status, her website has been closed.

Revelations soon emerged that she has claimed obtaining a degree in design and architecture at a university in Slovenia. Many are clueless about her post but on a closer look, her claim may be associated with getting a green card considering that it helps to have a degree when applying for citizenship.

In yet another snag, news domain Univision has published a claim that an immigration attorney working for the Trump organization said that Melania acquired her card based on marriage.

Trump's wife has claimed on Larry King Live that she was never married before she met the billionaire businessman.

It is also interesting to note that Michael Wildes, who handled legal processes related to visas and green cards during the Miss Universe pageant, said in an interview that he could not comment on how Trump became a permanent citizen.
