No way to continue after Employment Verification with no indication of issue or how to fix
We want to add our app to the Microsoft Store, the submission is ready however we cannot submit until the account has been verified. In the Legal info section we have entered the company details ...
I'm not sure what has changed in the partner onboarding / vetting process at Microsoft's side, but I'm seeing more and more discussions on here regarding 'failed employment verification' or other issues when trying to become a new Microsoft partner.
As a CSP Disti we also encounter a lot of issues when companies are trying to become a Microsoft partner and enroll for the MAICPP program. The vetting process almost always fails as Microsoft vetting team seems to block them, eventho valid documentation is provided.
I don't know why this process goes wrong so often. We get this fixed when we escalate to our PDM at Microsoft. But other than that, I have no idea.
Currently trying to onboard a new partner who also has a rejected status and trying to re-enroll for the program. Working on it for over 4 weeks now, still now approval from vetting team and the team hasn't replied over a week either.
Hope the vetting process gets improved in the future, as this causes a lot of issues for new partners.

- See my other post about this system being broken. Ive been a partner over 20 years, added CSP to my account which kicked off a re-verify which then fails. Been trying to fix this since October. I now have 16 days left before my Action Pack and licences expire, I cant renew as it wont let you if you are unverfified. I hold little hope this will be fixed in time and I will probably have to let my partner status expire, I dont want to but what else can I do? There is no way to contact the verification team, they dont repsond to emails and they wont let you know precisely what the error is. Its very depressing!
