FAQ
The median H-1B LCA wage for Systems Analyst in San Jose is $131,600 per year, across 56 annual wage observations in FY2026 Q2 DOL LCA disclosure data. The middle half of those filings falls between $131,560 and $159,228. This is an observed aggregate of what employers filed, not total compensation and not a legal wage-level determination. Retrieved from DOL OFLC LCA Disclosure Data on 2026-08-09.
It is a 25th-to-75th-percentile band, not a minimum and maximum: of the 56 annual wage observations matching Systems Analyst in San Jose, a quarter were filed below $131,560 and a quarter above $159,228, so filings outside the band exist and are not errors. The band is computed only from imported DOL LCA rows carrying an annual wage, and may not represent total compensation or every worker at an employer.
Treat $131,600 as the starting point, then narrow before you rely on it. Technology Mahindra Americas is the largest matched employer filing for Systems Analyst in San Jose in this dataset, and San Jose, CA is the largest observed worksite cluster, so a single employer or metro can sit well away from the role median. Open the employer and city pages to compare counts, worksites, and source periods together. None of it is a legal minimum-salary determination or a guarantee about any individual role.
Use it as a starting point only. LCA rows can include offered wage, prevailing-wage, wage-unit, SOC-code, and worksite fields, but this page is an aggregate salary view rather than a legal wage-level or minimum-salary determination.
DOL disclosure rows can contain wage ranges, prevailing wages, different wage units, and different worksites. VisaSignal normalizes cautiously and keeps source caveats visible.
No. A DOL-certified LCA is not the same as USCIS H-1B petition approval. It is an official labor-condition filing signal that should be interpreted with that limit.
No. PERM certification is one step in an employment-based green card process. It does not mean a green card, I-140 petition, or adjustment of status was approved.
No. Official filing history can show recent activity, roles, worksites, and wage signals, but it does not guarantee future sponsorship or predict legal outcomes.
