E3 changing jobs while in the US

[kentosi]

Hi there,

I'm currently working in the US with an E3 visa and I would like to change my employer. I have a few questions:

My new employer would need to file an LCA and I would need to restart the E3 application process, right?

Can I quit my current job as soon as the new LCA arrives? Or do I need to quit my job first and then get the new employer to file the LCA (within 10 days)?

Can I start working once the new LCA is approved, or do I need to wait for the E3 renewal?

Where exactly do I file for the E3 visa renewal? I can't find any indication of which agency/address I'm meant to go to. All I've read is "see the USCIS".

The following site mentions the need for an I-129 form under "Change of Employment". Is this really needed (with it's $325 fee)? It's looks massive.

Apologies for the heap of questions. I'm just a little nervous and want to do everything correctly.

Regards,

K
