Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not require you to use an immigration consultant or lawyer. If you choose to be advised or represented by a paid consultant, IRCC has rules about who can legally do this. If you want, you can have someone help you with: Your immigration application.
By filing a Federal lawsuit, you are forcing USCIS to justify their decision, which it is highly unlikely they will be able to do. In most cases where a Federal lawsuit has been filed, USCIS has chosen to avoid litigation and has issued an approval. This is particularly true on delayed cases and partial approvals.
The law says that if you had your citizenship interview and 120 days passed, you sue USCIS in federal court and ask a judge (who is appointed for life and who does not work for the immigration service) to decide whether or not you should be allowed to become a citizen.
If you don't satisfy USCIS with your response, it will issue its formal decision to deny the I-130 petition for the same reasons previously noted in the NOID. At this point, you and your spouse have to make a choice. You can either challenge the denial or decide to start all over again and file a new petition.
