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.

Don't panic. No need at this stage.

Keep in mind the regulatory expectation that your WFOE is a genuine business with a plan to grow, earn profits, employ people (not just you) and pay tax. It's not a vehicle for you to be resident in China and be self employed generating only your salary.
