41% of Mayo Clinic's filings were at prevailing-wage Level III or above. Under the 2026 wage-weighted lottery, that translates to an average of 2.5 lottery entries per candidate — meaning its candidates get meaningfully better odds than the typical Level I–II filing.

Mayo Clinic appears to be a cap-exempt type employer (such as a university, nonprofit research organization, or hospital). Cap-exempt employers can sponsor H-1B workers at any time of year without going through the annual lottery — always confirm directly with the employer's immigration team.
