H-1B wage level

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry

Level I · 1×
Level I$87,3391 entry
Level II$117,6862 entries
Level III$148,0543 entries
Level IV$178,4024 entries

The bottom of this range ($11,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $87,339. An H-1B cannot be filed below the prevailing wage, so an offer at the floor of this band could not be sponsored as posted.

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $117,686 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Financial and Investment Analysts" for prevailing-wage purposes.

Green-card follow-through: 44%

Of 9 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 5 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 464 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

22 transfer filings in the last year, covering 22 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
