Melania Trump’s Parents Sworn In As US Citizens

First lady Melania Trump’s parents officially became citizens of the United States on Thursday in New York City.

Viktor and Amalija Knavs took the citizenship oath alongside their lawyer, who said the process and interviews were no different than anyone else’s, other than security arrangements for Thursday’s interview.

It’s unknown when Viktor and Amalija had first moved to the U.S., but they have been living as legal permanent residents while awaiting the naturalization oath ceremony, according to The Associated Press.


Viktor, 74, and Amalija, 73, raised Melania in the rural industrial town of Sevnica, Slovenia, where Viktor was a car dealer and Amalija worked in a textile factory.

There has been speculation of the Knaves immigration standing in recent months, with many believing the first lady’s parents entered the country through the “chain migration” process, which President Donald Trump has made repeated calls to end.

An immigration lawyer told the Washington Post that there were two probable ways Trump’s in-laws obtained green cards: through sponsorship by their daughter or an employer.
