I changed jobs this way recently and it took ~6 months to receive a decision from USCIS. Others have been done much quicker but I would be prepared to wait going this route, and also take USCIS's processing times with a grain of salt. If the E-3 allowed for premium processing[1], portability[2] or the 240-day rule[3], I would try I-129 again otherwise I think I'll just apply for a new visa outside the US. 1: Pay an extra ~$1200 to hear back from USCIS in ~2 weeks. 2: Permission to start work for a new employer upon filing the I-129. 3: A 240 day grace period during which you may continue to work for your existing employer after your status expires.
