贴一个DOL wage level的定义，大部分人填level的时候不必那么高。

按DOL的定义，大部分人干一辈子都到不了Level III的水平。我们公司刚入职的PhD都填的Level I，全都拿到了H1B。


OES Wage Levels
The new requirements specify that determinations using a government survey shall be
made available for each occupation at 4 levels of wages commensurate with
experience, education, and the level of supervision.  The NPWHC shall make a
prevailing wage determination selecting one of the four wage levels for an occupation
based on a comparison of the employer’s job requirements to the occupational
requirements:  tasks, knowledge, skills, and specific vocational preparation (education,
training, and experience) generally required for acceptable performance in that
occupation.
It is important to remember that wage levels are determined only after selecting the
most relevant O*NET-SOC occupational code classification. The selection of the
O*NET-SOC code should not be based solely on the title of the employer’s job offer.
The NPWHC should consider the particulars of the employer’s job offer and compare
the full description to the tasks, knowledge, and work activities generally associated with
an O*NET-SOC occupation to insure the most relevant occupational code has been
selected.
   
  
Level I (entry) wage rates are assigned to job offers for beginning level employees who
have only a basic understanding of the occupation.  These employees perform routine
tasks that require limited, if any, exercise of judgment.  The tasks provide experience
and familiarization with the employer’s methods, practices, and programs.  The
employees may perform higher level work for training and developmental purposes.
These employees work under close supervision and receive specific instructions on
required tasks and results expected.  Their work is closely monitored and reviewed for
accuracy. Statements that the job offer is for a research fellow, a worker in training, or
an internship are indicators that a Level I wage should be considered.

Level II (qualified) wage rates are assigned to job offers for qualified employees who
have attained, either through education or experience, a good understanding of the
occupation.  They perform moderately complex tasks that require limited judgment.  An
indicator that the job request warrants a wage determination at Level II would be a
requirement for years of education and/or experience that are generally required as
described in the O*NET Job Zones.

Level III (experienced) wage rates are assigned to job offers for experienced
employees who have a sound understanding of the occupation and have attained,
either through education or experience, special skills or knowledge.  They perform tasks
that require exercising judgment and may coordinate the activities of other staff.  They
may have supervisory authority over those staff.  A requirement for years of experience
or educational degrees that are at the higher ranges indicated in the O*NET Job Zones
would be indicators that a Level III wage should be considered.
Frequently, key words in the job title can be used as indicators that an employer’s job
offer is for an experienced worker.  Words such as ‘lead’ (lead analyst), ‘senior’ (senior
programmer), ‘head’ (head nurse), ‘chief’ (crew chief), or ‘journeyman’ (journeyman
plumber) would be indicators that a Level III wage should be considered.


Level IV (fully competent) wage rates are assigned to job offers for competent
employees who have sufficient experience in the occupation to plan and conduct work
requiring judgment and the independent evaluation, selection, modification, and
application of standard procedures and techniques.  Such employees use advanced
skills and diversified knowledge to solve unusual and complex problems.  These
employees receive only technical guidance and their work is reviewed only for
application of sound judgment and effectiveness in meeting the establishment’s
procedures and expectations.  They generally have management and/or supervisory
responsibilities.

之前律师是不是好多都是按照salary填的 比如：salary到了当时的lv4 就勾lv4

职位要求本科的话，l1就行了，自己有master又没啥

我就是lca l1， eb3 perm 也是l1。   如果要办eb2的话可能确实需要l2+

我BAL的律师都按最低填的，是我能达到的工资level-2。
这么看来往多填没啥好处啊

不一定吧，我们这PhD刚毕业也填的L1，也过了。这个level描述就没有明确规定学历的东西。
