H-1B wage level

Level I · 1×
Level I$60,5281 entry
Level II$84,7812 entries
Level III$109,0133 entries
Level IV$133,2664 entries

$3,681 more — $84,781 — moves this role to Level II and 2 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 $84,781 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 "Computer Occupations, All Other" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Computer Occupations, All Other (15-1299) · Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card follow-through: 43%

Of 21 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 12 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 478 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

7 transfer filings in the last year, covering 7 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.
