Monetary damages are an element in almost every civil cause of action, including any claim that I can see arising from this situation.  From what you've written, you have none, therefore I don't think you have a valid claim.  In addition, as you would be suing the government there are sovereign immunity issues.  Sovereign immunity limits the claims you can assert against a government entity, the time period in which you can assert a claim, and mandates strict procedures which must be followed to assert a claim....

There are two types of H-1B visas, those that are capped and those that are uncapped.  H-1B visas which are capped are generally only available when applied for in the first five business days of each April. Exceptions are for those who are working at cap-exempt organizations which are institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations affiliated with institutes of higher education; nonprofit research institutions; and governmental research organizations. If you do not have prospects of being sponsored by a cap exempt organization and wish to visit next year, please note that your legal visa status must extend to September 30 as H-1B visa statuses for cap H-1B organizations only begin on October 1 at the earliest, and filing for a change of status to H-1B does not freeze your legal immigration status.
