- 628 certified filings for “Engineer Senior ASIC” (Electronics Engineers, Except Computer) in CA: $168k–$216k, median $188k. Most were filed at wage level IV (75%) — 4 lottery entries, ≈61% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. The pay stated here (100,000 USD) is below what this employer usually pays sponsored hires for this role. 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).
