Why the Level Matters

The prevailing wage level is the employer's own assessment of how senior the role is, and it sets the legal wage floor for the petition. A Level I filing is not a lower offer for the same job, it is a claim that the job itself is entry-level.

That makes the distribution informative: an employer concentrated at Levels I–II is filing mostly junior roles, while one weighted to III–IV is filing senior ones. It is also the figure most often scrutinised in RFEs, since a level that looks too low for the duties described invites questions.

H1B Visa Jobs Research Team

Counted from US Department of Labor LCA disclosure files (FY2021–2026) for certified petitions filed by Costco Wholesale Corporation with annual wages between $30K and $1M and a recorded prevailing wage level of I, II, III or IV. Filings with no recorded level are excluded from these percentages. A certified LCA is a step toward an H-1B petition, not an approved visa.
