MAICPP enrollment: Create work account redirects to signup.live.com and support form fails

I am trying to enroll IT-ICU, an Australian IT services business, in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program as a Partner / Managed Services Provider / Systems Integrator.

IT-ICU does not currently have a Microsoft Entra work account. During the MAICPP enrollment flow, I select Create work account as instructed.

Instead of taking me through creation of an organizational Microsoft Entra work account/tenant, Microsoft redirects me to signup.live.com and displays the consumer Microsoft Account creation flow ("Add your name to your Microsoft account").

I reproduced this in a fresh Incognito browser session using a valid and working business-domain mailbox. I deliberately did not complete that consumer signup because I do not want to create the wrong account type or an unnecessary duplicate Microsoft identity.

I then tried the Microsoft Partner support route for users without a Partner account:

Enrollment > Enroll > How do I enroll into MAICPP program

I completed the support request form, but submitting it repeatedly returns:

"There is a problem submitting your request, try again!"

Therefore I currently have no MAICPP enrollment, no Partner ID, no Microsoft Entra organizational work account created through the enrollment process, and no support case/reference number because the support form itself will not submit.

Could a Microsoft Community Manager please advise the correct way to create the required organizational work account for MAICPP enrollment, or escalate this to the Partner Center Enrollment / Provisioning team?

I can provide screenshots, redirect information and business-domain ownership evidence privately through an official Microsoft support channel if required.

Thank you.
