H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$57,7411 entry
Level II$75,6082 entries
Level III$93,4753 entries
Level IV$111,3424 entries

$4,783 more — $75,608 — moves this role to Level II and 2 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 $75,608 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 Specialists, All Other" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Financial Specialists, All Other (13-2099) · Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. 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

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card follow-through: 67%

Of 6 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 2 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 489 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.

DOL often reclassifies their job titles

The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 67% of its 12 wage determinations — against a 18% norm. The occupation sets the prevailing wage floor.Reclassification is routine and can reflect genuinely hybrid roles; it is not by itself evidence of underpayment.

Files H-1B transfers

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

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.
