- What Samsung Semiconductor INC paid sponsored hires in similar roles
- 45 certified filings for “Staff Engineer” (Electronics Engineers, Except Computer) in CA: $157k–$186k, median $169k. Most were filed at wage level III (43%) — 3 lottery entries, ≈46% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).
US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).
