Melania Trump's former modeling agent says she obtained a work visa before she modeled professionally in the United States in the mid-1990s. Zampolli said he based the H-1B application on Mrs. Trump's previous modeling work in Paris and Milan. The campaign also declined to discuss Mrs. Trump's immigration history in detail or provide copies of any paperwork that would put the issue to rest. Zampolli said that while he was a partner at modeling agency Metropolitan Models, he secured a work visa for Mrs. Trump, who in the mid-1990s was named Melania Knauss. In interviews earlier this year with MSNBC and for a profile in Harper's Bazaar, Mrs. Trump's comments appeared to be inconsistent with holding a work visa.
