The handful of denials may reflect RFE-stage challenges, withdrawal at the LCA stage, or eligibility issues with specific filings. On wages, University of California, Los Angeles pays a meaningful premium: $102,833 average wage versus a prevailing-wage benchmark of $81,792, roughly 26% above the DOL prevailing-wage estimate for the same roles. Premium pay is one of the credible signals that the company values H-1B labor on its merits rather than as a low-cost substitute.

University of California, Los Angeles's top H-1B role is Postdoctoral Scholar ($71,500) — an academic or research role. Universities and research institutes use H-1B sponsorship differently from corporate employers; many academic H-1Bs are cap-exempt, which simplifies the filing process meaningfully. All H-1B filings come from a single state (CA) — typical of companies with one office or a regional footprint.
