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.

Lottery odds assume a STEM candidate.

H-1B wage level

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

Level I · 1×
Level I$62,7741 entry
Level II$80,9122 entries
Level III$99,0503 entries
Level IV$117,1874 entries

The bottom of this range ($10,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $62,774. 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.

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

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.
