If I may verify the processing times involved in NIW. Since it falls under EB2 category, I am assuming it may be a long time before I can get my EAD card and be able to change employers. Also, I want to confirm if there could be issues if I change employers during the process - If so, I'd prefer to change my current employer before starting with it.
You can change employers any time if you are a self-applicant and will continue to work in your stated area of national interest. But NIW priority date will take the same time as a normal EB-2 application does. See:

Me and my wife are physicians on H1B visas considering applying for a green card without labor certification requirement. We contacted Atty Khanna who graciously agreed to give us a free first time consult. Not only did he advise us about the merits and demerits of the case, but also sent extremely useful sample documents and notes. We are thankful to him for the consultation and also for helping us save a lot of money trying to apply in vain for the EB1/NIW category (unlike our friends with similar qualifications who on the advice of other attorneys applied unsuccessfully) which has become extremely stringent these days.
