H-1B wage level

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

Level II$134,2022 entries
Level III$161,6373 entries
Level IV$189,0514 entries

The bottom of this range ($102,800) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $106,787. 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 $134,202 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 "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Software Developers (15-1252) · 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.
