EAD Expedite Rejected
I485 PD: Sept 2017 NYC
EAD Renewal Application PD: Aug 1st 2018
EAD original expiry date: Nov 2018

My EAD renewal application is up to 6 months now so I have been trying to make sure it is not one of the forgotten cases. Here is what I have done so far:

July 27th 2018: EAD renewal received by USCIS, notice date is Aug 1st.
Jan 25th 2019: Contacted congresswoman for help expediting
Feb 2nd 2019: Received letter from Congresswoman saying they were working on it
Feb 4th 2019: Called USCIS to request expedite on financial hardship as I am only worker in family, wife is student, we have a newborn and all insurance/income comes from my job, they told me that this was the first request so looks like Congresswoman's office has not done anything so far.
Feb 7th 2019: Email received from USCIS saying that due to high number of requests they are following the guidelines strictly and I don't fit them. They directed me to check if I was eligible for the automatic 180 days extension, which I am.

I wasn't even asked for proof of hardship, I think that because I have 3 months left on my first EAD auto renewal they have rejected the expedite even though it's also outside normal processing by their standards. I wonder if I have to run out the extension and lose my job before I we will becomes eligible for expedite?

I now have to hope my EAD comes through before May else my family is really in trouble, not a position I want to be in.
