H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$130,6861 entry
Level II$159,8902 entries
Level III$189,0723 entries
Level IV$218,2754 entries

The bottom of this range ($124,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $130,686. 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 $159,890 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 "Electrical Engineers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Electrical Engineers (17-2071) · San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.
