Hello gcd,

You can change a job/employer after 2 years in Germany. There is a motivation (I don't know if there is a legislation behind it yet) that will allow a Green Card holder to get an unlimited work permit and residence permit for Germany after 5 years (which is the maximal time a Green Card holder can stay in Germany), provided that the employer can demonstrate that this person is a valuable asset to the company.

If you have this unlimited work permit and residence permit then you can be a freelancer or self-employee as well.
