Can spouse with pending I-130 enter US with rest of family?

I recently received a very short notice for job relocation to the US and have been able to file directly with the local consulate for my spouse's I-130 (unter exceptional circumstances). We also have an appointment for our children's CRBA about 2 weeks prior to departure from our current country. We have been married for 11 years, my wife previously had a green card (lived and worked in th US for 3 years), but we've lived abroad now for 9 years.

I have planned for all of us to fly back to the US together (a month from now), with the expectation that the I-130 petition will still be processing.

Would it be fine for my wife to travel with us to the US under an ESTA as long as we show proof she will return? What sort of evidence is required? She will maintain bank accounts, registration in the city where we now live, and has an employment contract until Oct 2021. The plan is for my wife to help me get things settled in the US during the ESTA period (90 days) and return to the home country to complete the immigration process. We hope things will be faster given we have done Direct Consular Filing.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
