What Astrazeneca Pharmaceuticals Lp paid sponsored hires in similar roles
2 certified filings for “Study Physician Lung Cancer” (Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists) in DE: $218k–$309k, median $264k. Most were filed at wage level II (100%) — 2 lottery entries, ≈31% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. The pay stated here ($32.50 - $48 per hour) 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).
