FY2027 weighted lottery · Free · No signup
Since FY2027 the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: a Level IV offer gets four entries, a Level I offer gets one. Almost nobody knows what level their offer is. Check yours against real DOL wage data for your occupation and state.
Estimate, not legal advice. The official level comes from the DOL prevailing-wage determination for your metro area.
Your offer
Before FY2027 every registration had equal odds, so salary only affected your bank account. Now it affects whether you get to stay. Two offers, one at Level II and one at Level III, are not just a pay gap, they are a difference in lottery entries. That makes salary negotiation, occupation choice, and even which state you work in part of your visa strategy. The calculator next door shows exactly how much each level moves your cumulative odds.
