Can I sue a residency program?

I am an international medical graduate who applied for residency last year. I got accepted at a hospital in Minneapolis, MN. I was supposed to start my residency on June 2011. I applied for a job visa at the embassy of US in my home country Syria. I paid 3000 dollars. However, the situation in the country was exceptional. The embassy of US closed and I couldn't get the visa to join the program at the appropraite time. Although I asked them to wait for me just for few weeks, the residency program canceled my contract on August. I got the visa just 10 days after they canceled my contract. At that time they said they will consider and rank me for the match this year. There were 6 other Syrians who were late for their programs and they got their visas months after I did, still they were able to catch their residency. I got the match results this March and I was surprised that the hospital didn't take me as a resident this year. Can I sue the hospital or the program for the wasted time and money or for the stress they caused to me?
