Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $190,882 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 "Database Architects" for prevailing-wage purposes.

Median time from filing to decision: 496 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

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.
