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.

Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion. ​ My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family. My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time. I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998 I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this: I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card. The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/v

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
