H-1B wage level

$27,938 more$207,938 — 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 $207,938 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 "Computer and Information Systems Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021) · Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

Files H-1B transfers

5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
