More details to this question:
I have an I-140 approval from my previous lawyer. I completed 6 years of stay with my previous employer. My current employer used that I-140 it earlier to transfer visa and got 3 years extension. My current employer’s permanent labor got denied.

You can certainly try, especially if you and the previous employer still have the intention of having you join that employer again after your green card is approved.

An approved I-140 should be able to be used to petition for 3 more years of H-1B classification in the U.S. if you are waiting for the EB backlogs to clear.
