She became an official citizen of the United States in 2006, a year after marrying Donald Trump. She was first given a visa that’s given to immigrants that show “extraordinary ability and sustained national and international acclaim.” On the process, she shared: “I followed the law. I never thought to stay here without papers. I had a visa, I traveled every few months back to the country to Slovenia to stamp the visa. I came back, I applied for the green card, I applied for the citizenship later on after many years of green card. So I went by the system, I went by the law. And you should do that, you should not just say let me stay here and whatever happens, happens.”
