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$84,2191 entry
Level II$104,6862 entries
Level III$125,1543 entries
Level IV$145,6214 entries

The bottom of this range ($83,800) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $84,219. 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 $104,686 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 "Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers (17-2031) · 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.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

States it is exempt from the H-1B cap

In 19 Department of Labor filings, this employer states it is a nonprofit affiliated with an institution of higher education, or a nonprofit or governmental research organization — 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: 42%

Of 12 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 7 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 492 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.

DOL often reclassifies their job titles

The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 47% of its 19 wage determinations — against a 18% norm. The occupation sets the prevailing wage floor.Reclassification is routine and can reflect genuinely hybrid roles; it is not by itself evidence of underpayment.

Files H-1B transfers

12 transfer filings in the last year, covering 12 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
