This post is cross-checked by 4 sources including the Associated Press, BBC, and The Washington Post. While it is true that Melania Trump received an EB-1 'Einstein' visa in 2001, the claim that she 'lied' on her application is an unproven allegation stemming from a 2016 report about her early modeling work, and the 'momentum' of the deportation petition refers to a recurring social media campaign rather than a new legal development.

Claims analyzed (4)
- verified: This post was shared by @shalom2013 on Threads.
The source information provided confirms the post originated from the specified Threads account. - verified: Melania Trump received an EB-1 'Einstein' visa.
Multiple major news outlets and government records confirm Melania Trump obtained an EB-1 visa in 2001, a category reserved for individuals with 'extraordinary ability.' - misleading: Melania Trump lied on her visa application.
While a 2016 AP report found she was paid for 10 modeling jobs before her H-1B visa was issued, she has denied any wrongdoing, and no official government finding of fraud or 'lying' has ever been established. - misleading: A petition to deport Melania Trump back to Slovenia is gaining momentum.
Petitions calling for her deportation have existed on platforms like MoveOn and Change.org for years, often resurfacing during political debates, but there is no evidence of a significant new surge or legal momentum in June 2026.
