Salary vs prevailing wage

| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $76,898 | ~15% |
| Level II | $153,400 | ~31% |
| Level III | $229,923 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $306,426 | ~61% |
This job pays $360,000–$370,000 a year — that's Level IV (fully competent). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level IV registration gets 4 entries; estimated selection chance about 61% — better than average.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
