Managing Partner Michael Wildes is pleased to announce that the firm has been retained by Shayan Haghbin to assist with his U.S. Immigration needs. Shayan is a reality television personality, model, retailer, and entrepreneur.
Shayan Haghbin moved from Tehran, Iran to São Paulo, Brazil and a few years later became a celebrity. He participated in Love is Blind Brazil, on Netflix in 2022 and soon after went on two seasons of the most watched Brazilian reality tv show, “A Fazenda.” Sara, an Iranian – America watched Love is Blind Brazil, while she was in America, and messaged Shayan on Instagram. They soon after started talking and the next thing you know, they instantly connected. After two months of endless talking and FaceTimes, Sara planned a trip to São Paulo, Brazil with one of her close friends. Sara and Shayan met for the first time and the rest was history. Sara’s friend went back home to America after 5 days and Sara ended up staying in Brazil for two months. She did not want to go back home. They made the decision to live together and spend the rest of their lives together. “Where have you been all my life?” Was something very commonly said amongst the two. Sara went back home to America. Within two weeks, she gave her apartment away, sold her brand-new car, packed her clothes in 9 suitcases and went off to live with Shayan in Brazil. All their friends and family say, you two are a real-life fairytale, a real love story! Our firm is honored to assist Shayan with his U.S. Immigration needs.
