life style for her family abroad. After the twins entered elementary school, the competitive education system and unnecessary peer pressure worried Li.

Li enrolled her twins in 4th grade while her husband, who kept running his business in China, took frequent business trips to the Asian country.
In September of 2014, the family was sworn in as naturalized US citizens. That year, they also received their investment back and started a travel agency in Guam. The most rewarding outcome of applying for the EB-5 visa was not getting the investment fund repaid, she said. Instead it was seeing her daughters’ development under Guam’ s education system.
The twins, Sarah and Grace Cai, 15, not only excelled in school but also became top badminton players. The sisters dominated in double and single badminton matches around Guam and the Oceanian countries. They also served as ambassadors for Guam National Badminton Association by playing demonstrative matches and introducing the sport to students in public elementary and middle schools.

“ I am very pleased to see their persistence and effort in badminton,” she said.“ I believe they can do anything and I’ m proud of them.”
