H-1B wage level

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

Level III · 3×
Level I$137,0931 entry
Level II$165,1312 entries
Level III$193,1493 entries
Level IV$221,1874 entries

$1,187 more — $221,187 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 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 $221,187 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.
