Hi NVIDIA Support Team,

I’m trying to access the NVIDIA NIM API on [build.nvidia.com](http://build.nvidia.com)  
but I’m blocked at the phone verification step.

Problem: Pakistan (+92) is not listed as a country and the  
“Send Code to Phone” button remains greyed out and no OTP  
is sent. I also tried clicking Skip but API key generation  
is then blocked.

Account email: [umar.khawaja2009@gmail.com](mailto:umar.khawaja2009@gmail.com)  
Country: Pakistan (+92)  
Purpose: Testing NVIDIA NIM models (DeepSeek V4, Nemotron)  
for personal AI/engineering development.

Could you please manually verify my account?

Thank you
