Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

Substantail delay in filling my case

Can I sue my Immigration attorney on his negligence to file my case on time? I sent my file during I week of June for my final GC part. He only started to work on that during last week of June after repeated requests. Though the file was ready on June 28th, he finally sent the file on June 30th upon my serious warning. The file should have been reached the Immigration office by June29th as 30th happened to be Saturday.

He neglected to collect necessary documents ontime only on the last day

I was literally after him since beginning of June but he keep on postponing the date of filling.

Due to his negligence I lost golden opportunity to file for my final GC (I1485) as the dates became unavailable.

Fees everything was paid well in advance

Your complaint against your lawyer for alleged malpractce should first be presented to the attorney's state bar organization for evaluation and possible sanctions before you initiate any formal litigation in court.
