Suzuki Quoted in Bloomberg Law Story on New H-1B Visa Fees

Asafu Suzuki, an attorney in the Vorys Columbus office and a member of the immigration group, was quoted in a Bloomberg Law story titled “H-1B Fee’s Sparse Details Sow Confusion at Schools, Nonprofits.”  The story was about a presidential proclamation signed by President Trump on the evening on September 19, 2025 imposing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions. 

The story states:

“In Ohio, cap-exempt H-1B visas are critical for filling shortages of healthcare providers, said Asafu Suzuki, an immigration attorney at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP. But the lack of clarity on the fee has been unsettling for businesses trying to navigate immigration policies that have rapidly shifted, she said.

‘From an employers’ perspective, I don’t think anyone wants their petition or their employee to be the test case,’ Suzuki said.”
