Iranian Dentist Denied Entry Twice | Montpelier News

An Iranian-American oral surgeon and social media star, Shohreh Ghasemi, was barred from reentering the U.S. after multiple failed attempts—first at Toronto airports, then on foot near the Vermont border—where she was found with a fake birthdate. Facing a five-year ban, she claims she believed her green card was still pending and that she had advanced parole. But USCIS denied her application for fraud, and her appeal was rejected. She also admitted to misrepresenting her credentials, leading to investigations and a cease-and-desist order from Georgia’s dental board. Now, she’s seeking asylum under the Convention Against Torture, fearing execution in Iran, as her deportation case hangs in the balance.
