FY2027 Lottery Entry Weighting
Under the FY2027 weighted H-1B selection, a cap-subject registration earns pool entries equal to its OEWS wage level — Level IV gets 4×the entries of Level I. More entries mean proportionally better odds, but the actual odds also depend on the national applicant pool, which is unknown until the draw runs — so this card shows the entry weighting, not a chance of being selected.
2.76 entries
Average lottery entries per registration for this role and area under FY2027 weighting (1 = entry-level, 4 = highest).
- Level I (entry)1×2.7% of filings (1)
- Level II2×43.3% of filings (16)
- Level III3×29.7% of filings (11)
- Level IV (expert)4×24.3% of filings (9)
54.0% of level-tagged filings here are Level III–IV (3–4 entries each). The draw stays beneficiary-centric: one person is one unit no matter how many employers register them, and if the same beneficiary is registered at different wage levels, the lowest level sets the weight.
