Files H-1B any time — no cap, no lottery. The 2026 weighted-selection rule doesn't touch it, which makes this the strongest structural path for entry-level talent. Pay is often lower, but your odds of staying are dramatically higher.

H-1B wage level

Level I · 1×
Level I$99,6741 entry

$5,924 more$119,642 — moves this role to Level II and 2 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 $119,642 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 "Veterinarians" for prevailing-wage purposes.
