The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (9 certified of 9 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on Alignment Research Center’s H-1B petitions range from $150,000 at the low end to $208,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $195,556. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Machine Learning Researcher (3 petitions at $200,000 avg), followed by Machine Learning Alignment Researcher and Software Engineer, Web Dev and ML focus. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.
