Processing Times Involved in NIW
Question details
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:

I have been working within the financial industry in New York since past 6 years on H1-B visa. For my GC and H-1B extension, I chose to work with Mr. Khanna and his extremely capable team. In past 6 years, I have worked with different groups of attorneys for immigration visa things a couple of times, I can easily say that Mr. Khanna and his team was the best. Also, I had so many one-off non-standard situations with my visa application, but everything was very pleasantly accomodated and carefully handled by Mr. Khanna's team. There was no mistakes made and their advisement was absolutely spot on. Very very professional indeed. Thank you very much to all the guys who worked on my applications.
