Melania Trump's Parents Visit Immigration Office, But Want to Keep Citizenship Journey 'Private'

As President Donald Trump attempts to make good on a campaign promise to crack down on immigration, his in-laws were spotted visiting a federal building that houses offices for immigration officials who help process citizenship applications.

Melania Trump‘s parents — Viktor and Amalija Knavs of Slovenia —are green card holders and lawful, permanent residents of the U.S. who immigrated legally, their lawyer, Michael Wildes, tells PEOPLE after images of them outside the building appeared in New York’s Daily News.

Wildes would not comment on whether the first lady’s parents are seeking citizenship.

“The family would like to keep it private,” he says, adding: “They are absolutely lovely people.”

The couple had been awaiting scheduling for their naturalization oath ceremony, the Washington Post reported in February.

Probably not - they have connections.

Once her parents and sister (where is she in this?) get citizenship, Melania may very well think "Mission Accomplished."

Until then, both she and they are hostages.

I think she wants all of them here to help her raise Barron with her humungous payoff.
