Social science professionals include all levels of professionals who studies and are working in a field of social science. The green card options that are available to them depend on the specific type of work they are undertaking or how much they have achieved.
They can get green card through a person of "extraordinary ability" (in Chinese) or "extraordinary ability" (in English) if they meet the required achievements.
They can apply for green card under the national interest waiver category if they can prove that their work is in the national interest. 
Social science researchers can get green card through "Outstanding Researcher/Professor" IF they have outstanding achievements and have a permanent job offer.  Ask us what constitutes a "permanent job offer". 
If social science professionals are hired as a college professor or a postdoctoral researcher at an institution of higher education, but you also have teaching assignments in addition to your research assignments, you should contact us within 18 months of your hiring, you can qualify for "Special Handling", a fast track labor certification for teaching faculty.
Some social science postdoctoral researchers do not have above options or do not want to take above options, and the employer is willing to sponsor the green card application, we can file the labor certification application.  It takes relatively longer time, but sometimes it is the safe way to get green card for you and your family members.
We suggest you contact us as soon as you receive the job offer or email us your resume and a brief introduction of your current work and let us do the evaluation work for your green card options.
