H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$55,7231 entry
Level II$74,0902 entries
Level III$92,4563 entries
Level IV$110,8224 entries

$10,954 more — $74,090 — 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 $74,090 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 "Cost Estimators" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Cost Estimators (13-1051) · New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Third-party placement is common here

25% of this employer's visa filings place the worker at a client company rather than at the employer itself, across 4 clients. Your visa, salary band and layoff exposure would follow the employer of record, not the client.Most common: Invenergy · Massachusetts Port Authority · People's Gas Light and Coke Company

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.
