H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$69,8461 entry
Level II$84,2612 entries

Level IV$113,0904 entries

The bottom of this range ($10,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $69,846. An H-1B cannot be filed below the prevailing wage, so an offer at the floor of this band could not be sponsored as posted.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

States it is exempt from the H-1B cap

In 33 Department of Labor filings, this employer states it is a nonprofit affiliated with an institution of higher education — one of the statutory grounds for exemption from the H-1B cap. Cap-exempt employers can file year-round without entering the lottery.Employer's own attestation on a Department of Labor wage determination, not a USCIS determination — exemption is decided per petition.

Green-card follow-through: 96%

Of 24 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 503 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
