H4 Expedite request denied

[ak1982]

Hi all, Let me start with a quick background of my case: I lost my job a few months ago on h1-b. So I applied for an h4 (dependent) visa to maintain my status. Now I found a job and my new employer's lawyers have filed for an h1-b visa. My lawyers said that I will have to wait till my H4 is approved and then the h1-b  transfer would happen. The issue is current wait times for h4 is 13 to 16 months. So I sent an application to request an expedite my h4 change of status application My H4 expedite request was denied today. The reasons I gave were - a financial loss to my employe and ongoing medical treatments to my newborn (who was born a month ago with a rare genetic condition.) My request was denied saying "the evidence you have provided is insufficient to establish that your expedite request". 

1. Anybody here going through similar issues?

2. Would you recommend putting another expedite request, with a hope that some other agent may have a different verdict to my case.

3. Anything else I can do - e.g. calling local congressmen etc?

Hi ak1982, Is there any break through on your above query? I'm on same boat and even my expedite request was denied saying "You did not provide evidence of an extreme emergent need". Please let me know how did you proceed further.
