Experts told The Washington Post that Viktor and Amalija Knavs likely used the family reunification process derided by President Trump as ‘chain migration’. “I can confirm that Mrs Trump’s parents are both lawfully admitted to the United States as permanent residents,” their immigration lawyer Michael Wildes told the Post. Immigration experts told The Washington Post and The New York Times that there are two major ways Trump’s in-laws could have received the green card – through sponsorship by their daughter or their employer. Viktor Knavs worked as a driver and car salesman while Amaljia Knavs made patterns at a textile factory. Thus their most reasonable path to citizenship would be sponsorship by First Lady Melania Trump, immigration lawyer David Leopold told The Washington Post.
