$1,353 more — $255,653 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 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 $255,653 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 22 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Green-card follow-through: 82%
Of 22 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 4 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 502 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
27 transfer filings in the last year, covering 27 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
