Tan's spouse, Jay, a U.S. citizen, filed an
approved spousal petition on her behalf. On August 20, 2015, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denied her application due to the
fact that she still had a final order of removal. Ms. Tan must go back
to the immigration court and ask for the court to terminate her case
and then reapply for her green card. Ms. Tan is now again facing the
threat of deportation while she seeks to close her case before an
immigration court. In addition to the hardship that Ms. Tan would endure if she is
deported, her deportation would cause serious hardship to her two U.S.
citizen children, Joriene and Jashley. Joriene is a junior at Stanford University and is premed, majoring in
human biology. In addition to his studies, Joriene is involved in
Stanford's Pilipino-American Student Union.
