Citizenship and Immigration and Hung Yin Tsang

Hung Yin Tsang: The Markham couple was stunned to receive a rejection letter in February from Citizenship and Immigration that said Tsang had been turned down because she did not respond to requests for her passport and police clearance from Hong Kong demands the couple said they never received, according to The Star.
