The president will let the State Department complete its review of the new application
When we look at that we think that the lion's share of that information remains current and relevant and provides all of the analysis that the State Department would require to make their decision.
Certainly the message we've heard coming out of the State Department and out of the White House is that they fully expect to use as much of the pre-existing record from the previous application as possible
a senior State Department official said U.S. officials would conduct a thorough review of the new application, with a final decision not expected until early next year -- well after the presidential election.
The State Department is trying to work out a resolution that honors the wishes of Mr. Chen ... It looks like some of those wishes may have changed over the past couple days.
Neither the British Embassy in Washington DC nor the American State Department approved of the scholarship, which had been funded by celebrities including the actor Sidney Poitier, and suggested that the students were second-rate and likely to cause trouble.

The State Department will explore additional creative funding streams for the Philippines

We are in conversations now, not we — the State Department folks in Beijing — and I simply can’t give you a moment-by-moment update on that

We also made clear we would continue to monitor his case and remain in contact with Mr. Chen and raise concerns about the case if there were concern...
I am not in a position ... to characterize or decide who would be able to ask for political asylum. That's … a question for the State Department.
