My husband is from Germany and here in the United States working on an E2 visa. This is an employer specific visa, meaning he cannot change employers without losing his visa and having to go back to Germany. We just had our first appointment at our local USCIS office today and they only confused us more. Our question is: once we mail in the 130 (my petition for him), the affidavit of support, the 485, and any other necessary forms and receive the receipt for everything, can he then change employers? The man we spoke to today said my husband does not need to file for a work permit. Please help!!

I think that he may change employers only after he gets his new work permit (based on marriage petition) or his green card.

If he's not looking into quitting anytime soon, he can wait until his green card is issued and not apply for a work permit.

Honestly, since it's free, I would apply for it anyways.

He can change Employer as soon as he has his EAD.
