>H-1B1 is not the visa type for the best and brightest. That visa type is EB-1. H-1B is about skills in high demand not extraordinary ability.

So Melania Trump was the best and brightest? By what metric?

Presumably modeling. The following two EB-1 via criteria would be sufficient:

Evidence that you command a high salary or other significantly high remuneration in relation to others in the field

Evidence of your commercial successes in the performing arts

She was a working model back then, not a supermodel. There are plenty of questions around how she qualified for it. Trump promised a press conference on it and of course it never happened.
