Can the same person file 2 I485 applications?

[NIW applicant]

HI guys,
I have a pending I485 application that cannot be adjudicated until the end of next year. I have just received a new labor certification approval. My question is, can I file a new I485 application on the basis of this labor cert, without withdrawing my old application? I hope that this one will be approved sooner.
Thanks!

You CAN file second I-485 and don’t forget to write your A# on new I-485 and TICK the box that other I-485 is pending and also write pending I-485#

OR
Just file new I-140 based on new LC once I-140 is approved then Interfile your new approved I-140 with pending I-485. Send the copy of new I-140 approval and request the USCIS to approve the pending I-485 based on new I-140 and also attach Copy of the below Memo
