Files H-1B any time — no cap, no lottery. The 2026 weighted-selection rule doesn't touch it, which makes this the strongest structural path for entry-level talent. Pay is often lower, but your odds of staying are dramatically higher.

H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$46,3011 entry
Level II$55,7022 entries
Level III$65,0833 entries
Level IV$74,4854 entries

The bottom of this range ($42,744) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $46,301. 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.

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $55,702 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 "Biological Technicians" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Biological Technicians (19-4021) · 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.
