No one can say for sure, but in my honest opinion your chances are very, very low. Stanford receives thousands of overly qualified applicants each year, including students with stories similar to yours who have recently moved to the US. It is one of the hardest US universities to achieve admission to- you need to stand out, and not just in your grades and test scores. Unfortunately, outside of the programming things you have listed, I don’t see much in your app that would catch the eye of a Stanford admissions officer. You can of course apply as a “reach/throwaway” app, but you should focus your college search on places where your cumulative GPA is in range.
