If you read my full comment:

> don’t know how this will play out for employment based categories

I am only talking about employment based categories if you refer to my original comment. I’d be curious to know what visa categories allow you to file for an employment based greencard without a job?

EB1-A and EB2 NIW are the usual categories. Both allow you to self petition without an offer of employment.

My understanding is that the EB green cards are for a job offer, and not the current job.

In practice, though, almost all employers file EB GC petitions for only their current employees, not future ones.
