V sorry to hear about the denial. My EB1-EA was approved on Dec 19, 06 after a RFE on Nov 22, 06. Like you, the RFE required me to show proof of prospective employment. Although, EB1-EA is not employment dependent, wonder why they asked so. I was in the process of changing jobs. Once my O1 approval for the new job came through, my attorney sent along that approval notice along with the employment letter of my new employer and then the petition got approved. Wonder why they are asking RFEs like these!!!
You should definitely appeal, nothing to lose here. On the brighter side, although it doesn't sound like much of a consolation right now, you have (a) an approved NIW which you wil be able to use, oneday and (b) you are still on H1 so you can continue working. For people like me, on O1, if I had filed concurrently and got rejected, I would have gone out of status that instant, because O1 visa holders have to go on EAD after filing 485.
