H-1B wage level

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

Level II · 2×
Level I$50,5231 entry
Level II$65,8322 entries
Level III$81,1203 entries
Level IV$96,4294 entries

$6,120 more — $81,120 — moves this role to Level III and 3 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 $81,120 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Web Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.
