H-1B wage level

$13,526 more$113,526 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $113,526 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Software Developers (15-1252) · Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

Employer immigration record

55% of this employer's visa filings place the worker at a client company rather than at the employer itself, across 17 clients. Your visa, salary band and layoff exposure would follow the employer of record, not the client.Most common: Amazon - Client Location · Weyerhaeuser - Client location · SEIU - Client LocationFiles as an H-1B dependent employer.

Files H-1B transfers

427 transfer filings in the last year, covering 427 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 149 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
