At the same time, the applicant can change jobs at will after submitting the "outstanding talent" immigration application, as long as the new job is in the professional field of the application. In addition, while waiting for the "exceptional talent" green card to be approved, the applicant can also submit other types of immigration applications, such as EB-2 national interest exemption.
