H-1B wage level

$4,633 more — $84,633 — 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 $84,633 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 "Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary" for prevailing-wage purposes.
