- H-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

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).

Before you apply
Review before applying
Citizenship requirement stated — the posting’s wording suggests candidates who already hold work rights. Read the original listing carefully.
Requirement gap
The posting mentions a security clearance — usually restricted to citizens of that country.
Sponsorship unknown
No register record and no sponsorship wording in the posting. Worth asking the employer before investing significant time.
These come from the posting’s own wording. Read the original listing to confirm. See better-fit alternatives →
