Lawsuit against USCIS? (not FBI check related)

I am looking for advice regarding the possibility of filing a lawsuit against USCIS, and how/where to find a lawyer who would help.
The story is such:
I was married to US citizen, became a vicitm of domestic violence (no need to say - it is hell), filed I-360 (VAWA)...which was pending for almost 3 years!!! because USCIS lost my A-file. During all this time I was not able to legally work (I-360 does not allow you to apply for work permit until it is approved), was not able to live the normal life - i suffered from clinical depression, was on medications all the time.
Finally it was approved, I filed I-485, had my interview on May 25, 2006. But...no decision was made because the interviewing officer decided to request the missing file once again! So am I going to wait another 3 years?5 years? I am a young intelligent woman,i have no criminal record, I always obeyed immigartion laws, i suffered through enough already to go through all this. I DID NOT lose the A-file - USCIS did but i am paying a high price for that.
So...I am looking for advice on what I can do, especially about filing a lawsuit. Any opinions are very appreciated.

MrLA , have you read my post??? I have no FBI check pending! So no point in reading the above mentioned post which i have read already!
 
My lawyer just sits and waits. I did all the job myself. I started writing to the President, to the USCIS Ombudsman, my senator's office called USCIS every week - well, I got approved!
