$1,493 more$82,493 — 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 $82,493 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 "Materials Engineers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL often reclassifies their job titles

The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 55% of its 11 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.
