Most were filed at wage level IV (100%) — 4 lottery entries, ≈61% 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).

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.

These come from the posting’s own wording. Read the original listing to confirm. See better-fit alternatives →
