Urgent: Is EAD AP portable?

[godisgood]

I am ready to file a new 485 myself. I already have EAD/AP approved from my employer's 485. Can I reuse the approved EAD/AP with my new 485?

Reason to file new 485: My NIW got approved. It is much safe to use my own I140 instead of concurrent-filing-but-not-yet-approved I140 with substitution LC.

You need not apply second I-485. You can just swap the underlying I-140 to approved one. That way you can keep your old receipt date as well as save some money. This was suggestion given to me from my attorney.
