AMES, Iowa A couple of commercials sparked a journey that would eventually lead Behnia Rezazadeh Shirazi from Iran to Iowa. Shirazi will graduate from Iowa State University this weekend with bachelor’s degrees in biology, biophysics and biochemistry. During his freshman year of high school, Shirazi was watching TV when an immigration lawyer came on to encourage Iranian nationals to pursue opportunities in the United States. It caught Shirazi’s attention but his father was finishing his Ph.D. in Malaysia, so Shirazi emailed the lawyer pretending to be his father. Nothing much came of it, until four years later when his family was invited to the U.S. embassy in Dubai for immigration interviews.
