About H1B Lottery Data
Fiscal Year Timing
The H1B fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30. The lottery happens in March/April, but workers can start October 1 of that year.
LCA vs Lottery
This data reflects Labor Condition Applications filed with the DOL — a required step in the H1B petition process that occurs post-lottery selection.
Prevailing Wages
Each LCA includes the wage offered and the prevailing wage level (I–IV), ensuring H1B workers are paid at or above market rates for their role.
