After half a year of searching for freedom in America, the former Japanese princess is likely to return to her homeland with an uncertain future.
In mid-April, Kei Komuro – husband of former Japanese Princess Mako received the results of failing the New York state bar exam for the second time. This is causing a lot of trouble for the newlyweds.
In November 2021, not long after getting married, Mako Komuro flew to the US to settle down with her husband. Kei Komuro currently lives in the United States on an OPT visa for F-1 students with a temporary off-campus work permit issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The royal groom’s visa is valid for 12 months and is expected to expire this May. Former Princess Mako in the US as a spouse of a resident, ie dependent on Kei Komuro.
According to Japanese media, the visa of the royal groom will expire this month
To continue with the visa application, Kei Komuro must have a law degree in order to be able to apply for the H-1B work visa for professionals working in the US. However, until July this year, the pro-coder can take the exam for the third time and its results will not be announced until the end of the year. So the couple will have a period of several months without a legal visa to live in the US.
Many sources claim that the couple is trying to find another visa opportunity. Mako Komuro has accepted a job as a curator at the prestigious MET museum (New York) to be able to apply for an O-1 visa for outstanding foreigners who are looking for temporary work in the US. Then Kei Komuro will stay on the spousal visa through Mako. However, the spouse visa does not allow work, so Kei will still have to pass the exam in July at all costs. And even if he planned, Mako’s visa application will not be possible overnight. .
On May 4, Japanese media reported that an official working for the Akishino family revealed: “Mako Komuro may return to Japan once in May as the application for an O-1 visa to stay in the US will not be completed before the May deadline. It seems Kei wants to focus on her studies” .
Due to the expiration of the visa, it is likely that Mako and her husband will have to temporarily return to their hometown for a few months
Both will probably return to Japan temporarily for a short period of a few months because of visa problems. During this time, Kei Komuro will focus all of his time on studying for the exam again.
This source also added that currently, the couple has no choice but to have Kei pass the exam to live in the US. Job stability is a top priority for the couple.
