H-1B wage level

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

Level III · 3×
Level I$68,4111 entry
Level II$103,3342 entries
Level III$138,2783 entries
Level IV$173,2024 entries

$23,202 more — $173,202 — 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 $173,202 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 "Financial Specialists, All Other" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Financial Specialists, All Other (13-2099) · New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.
