H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$86,3621 entry
Level II$99,7572 entries
Level III$113,1313 entries
Level IV$126,5264 entries

The bottom of this range ($85,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $86,362. 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 $99,757 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 "Mechanical Engineers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Mechanical Engineers (17-2141) · Burlington-South Burlington, VT. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.
