Is it possible to get Niederlassungserlaubnis and prove that you know German laws without taking Leben in Deutschland test? For example, German level B2 instead of B1, some letters from your employer, I don't know.
The problem is extremely long processing time: I can register for July earliest + 2-5 months waiting for the result.

Nope not how it works. They make rules for a reason and one being in a hurry is not a overriding concern for officials. But the Leben in Deutschland test is almost the exact same as the citizenship test (Einbergerüngstest) which can be used as a substitute. This is offered through all Volkhochschulen and some other institutes. Maybe one can get an earlier appointment with some luck. And the results are supposed to come back within a few weeks in most cases. And one can find a list of all of the possible test questions, with answers, in the internet.
Thank you once again!
I know all that about Einbergerüngstest and questions, and Volkhochschulen just fells like I am over in some cases (B2 > B1), but could not fulfil the only test criteria.
Believe me or not, I could not book neither Einbergerüngstest nor Leben in Deutschland up until July in my region, and in the most recent cases (known through forums/friend) people waited 2-5 months, this is frustrating.
Anyway, thank you for your reply.
I have a question here: are Einbergerüngstest and Leben in Deutschland different? I thought they are the same.

Basically the same. One is supposed to do the Einburgerüngstest for naturalization and the Leben in Deutschland test for purposes like long term residency permit. I think the citizenship test can be subsitituted for the other. The format and questions seem to be virtually the same.

Having a higher level of German than required is great yet not a substitute for the other test. Not the same thing. As important as the language is, it is not the only concern about immigration. People need to have a good grasp of the laws and culture too.
