      There are very limited, precise ways that someone can get a green card. If Melania Trump's parents got green cards through family reunification, @realDonaldTrump's name would be listed on their application as Melania Trump’s spouse. It's also the program Trump wants to cut.

      You can also get a green card through unemployment. Melania Trump herself got a so-called Einstein Visa. As you may have guess, there are no such visas for extraordinary farmworkers or genius housecleaners.

      Unless Melania Trump's parents have been moonlighting as Afghan or Iraqi translators, religious workers, international broadcasters, they wouldn't qualify for green card as "special immigrants." Take that one off the list.

      Are Melania Trump's parents refugees or asylees? That's another way they could have obtained green cards. There are *very* few refugees from Slovenia or Austria, tho.

      Were Melania Trump's parents trafficked into the US by a coyote? If so, they could get a T visa. Were they victims of a serious crime? If so, they could get a U visa. With either of these, they could then get a green card.

      If Melania Trump's parents were from Cuba, they could try to get green cards. But they're not. So they can't and they didn't.

      Did Melania Trump's parents take their changes with the diversity lottery? It's unlikely, given that family reunification (a program Trump wants to cut) is so much easier. Trump also wants to cut the diversity lottery btw.

      If Melania Trump's parents had been here since 1972, they could apply for green cards through the registry program. Seems highly unlikely, however.

      That's it. Those are the ways @MELANIATRUMP's parents could have gotten green cards. That's why so many immigration attorneys say it likely happened through family reunification. Again, that's the program Donald Trump wants to cut. Read more here:https://www.revealnews.org/blog/here-are-eight-ways-melanias-parents-could-have-received-green-cards/ …

          Aura why are you obsessed with the parents of the first lady of United states & how they recently became citizens? Family reunification visas are not what he's trying to rid. It's the chain w links going to great aunts & 9th cousins. Looks to me like her parents did it right.

          You CAN'T do that. 'Chain' = immediate family. Read an official http://uscis.gov  page. Just fyi, I'm Scottish, if my parents (w/greencards) sponsored me, it'd take 7 -SEVEN- years w/current processing times. I don't want gc; just frm attorney friend, general conversation.
