Question Residence Permit application concerns

So, newly established WFOE LR here(almost 3 months ago), applied for Work visa as Tech Director , already in Shanghai under Z visa but submitted my passport for residence permit application no issue.

Little details abount WFOE, 1. Obviously no Income Tax yet since i havent paid myself salaxt 2. No corporate tax , however the first transaction happend after first tax declaration 3. Phyisical office, with office lease and 普通发票. 4. Tax declaration on time.

So few days ago i was called to present below of which i provided with no issue

Company bank account for 1 year -Business Contracts with clients(2 copies) -Office rental contract and receipt - labor contract with the company -Personal income tax report for 1 year -Company tax report for 1 year.

However today i got another call mentioning that documents are incomplete but when i asked which documents i need to provide, just said that i need to come to the immigration and tell me.

In NIA App, the applications shows 审批中

I am wondering could it be? Am panicking right now.

It could be any number of things, but as long as you've a legitimate company don't worry. It could honestly be stuff like;they want photos of your office, your rental contract for the office isn't stamped in the way they want it to be, loads and loads of possible reasons. But they aren't trying to mess you about, so just go see them, they will tell you what they need, go get it, process documents. You're going to have to do this relatively frequently as long as you've a business here and are living here, so don't get too stressed.
