My name is Behrooz Tabani Abarghani, a renowned bodybuilder and champion of the 2022 Romania Pro and 2023 Arnold Schwarzenegger's Classic in Brazil. I have been invited to participate in Mister Olympia 2022 and again in 2023, a lifetime honor for every bodybuilder. However, due to long visa processing times, I was unable to participate last year and am facing the same issue this year.

Over the past two to three years, I have worked tirelessly to gain eligibility for this prestigious competition. As only the third ever bodybuilder from Iran invited to compete in the Open Category at Mister Olympia, it is heartbreaking that my opportunity may be taken away due to administrative delays.

I urge everyone reading this petition not just as an athlete but as someone who has dedicated countless days and nights training hard for this moment. The delay in visa processing is not merely an inconvenience; it threatens my career achievements and future opportunities.

Therefore, we call upon U.S immigration authorities to expedite my visa application process so that I can represent myself at Mister Olympia 2023. Please sign this petition if you believe in fair play and equal opportunities for all athletes regardless of nationality or bureaucratic hurdles. Your support could make a significant difference!
