Your new employer would need to file a Form I-129 on your behalf. You could not begin employment with the new employer until the petition is approved by USCIS. You will need to establish eligibility for an O-1 visa as if applying for the first time. You and your employer should consider working with an attorney to make sure the process is completed properly.
