Hi Peter thanks for doing this. I'm currently working under a TN Visa which expires on May, but my I94 expires on 2021. My question is, If I want to change employer (it will normally take me 1 week because I travel to Mexico and do the process in the US embassy there). If it is possible to still get a TN Visa from US and without premium processing how long does it takes? Thanks

It is possible but without premium processing, it's impossible to say how long that process will take. It could be weeks or months. But note that when premium processing returns, a pending petition could be "upgraded" to premium.

Do you have any guess on when premium processing would be brought back?

It's really hard to say but I don't think until the summer or even fall although USCIS could bring it back piecemeal, maybe starting with I-140 petitions and certain visa classifications.
