H-1B Offer Check · public DOL & USCIS data
See an instant public-data estimate of your wage level, weighted-lottery entries, and the salary gap to the next level. Then request a manually reviewed employer and prevailing-wage check. If you prefer self-serve, the optional negotiation kit turns the result into a clear written ask. The estimate is an orientation signal, not an official OFLC determination; use flag.dol.gov for the exact occupation and worksite county.
What the email adds
The instant result is an orientation estimate, not an official OFLC wage determination. We aim to email the manually reviewed brief within one business day, after checking your exact SOC and worksite against the public wage library and adding the employer-side view from the integrated FY2026 Q2 (Oct 2025 – Mar 2026 decisions) dataset.

Wage and wage-level figures come from the DOL OFLC LCA Disclosure Data, FY2026 Q2 (H-1B only) public release (FY2026 Q2 (Oct 2025 – Mar 2026 decisions)). LCA filings are wage attestations filed with the Department of Labor — they are not petitions, lottery selections, or hires, and one filing can cover multiple positions. Projected lottery selection rates come from the DHS weighted-selection final rule analysis and are illustrative, not a guarantee.
Since the March 2026 registration, USCIS selects H-1B registrations with a weighted lottery: an offer at OFLC wage Level IV gets four entries, Level I gets one. The projected selection rates in the rule's analysis range from roughly 15% at Level I to roughly 61% at Level IV, so the same job at a slightly higher wage level can carry materially better odds.
The prevailing wage is the minimum the Department of Labor requires for your occupation and worksite county. An employer cannot lawfully pay an H-1B worker less than the higher of the prevailing wage or its own actual wage for the role. If an offer sits below the prevailing wage for its stated level, that is a structural red flag worth raising before you sign.
An estimated OFLC wage level for your salary, role, and metro; what that level means under the 2026 weighted lottery; a prevailing-wage sanity check against public OEWS data; and how your offer compares with what the employer actually filed in recent LCA disclosures — median wage, wage-level mix, and top roles.
No. Everything here is informational, built from public Department of Labor and USCIS data. Official prevailing wage determinations come from the OFLC wage library at flag.dol.gov, and decisions about your case belong with a qualified immigration attorney.
