Ongoing Issue with Employment Verification in Microsoft Partner Program

We have exactly the same problem. Our Microsoft Partner application was vetted and approved successfully. We then applied for the indirect reseller program using the same supporting documents that got the Partner application vetted and approved. Then, both the Partner Application and the Indirect Reseller application restarted all over. And now both are stuck in this endless Employment Verification loop. It is bizarre that a company as resourceful as Microsoft, cannot pick up the phone to tell its prospective partners what's missing or wrong, and instead resorts to generic template-based emails. And the most frustrating part is they keep telling me the documents are too old to be considered, but it's only a few weeks old and definitely within their 12-month requirement. Microsoft - if you are reading this, please fix this highly frustrating onboarding process. You can do better than this. Unless you just admit that you don't want any more partners or any partners at all.

I am encountering the same issue.

I have submitted all the required documents, including the domain name registration receipt to verify ownership, via the “Fix Now” appeal function. However, after the documents were received, the verification process appears to have stalled. I have not received any further updates from the vetting operations team, either through the Partner Centre or the support tickets I have raised.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance, as this delay is having a significant impact on my business operations.

Thank you for your time and support.

I’ve developed an AI-powered text analytics application that sits within MS Excel, and I’m currently in the pre-launch phase with initial customers lined up for validation. I’ve incorporated the business, purchased a domain, and completed all necessary banking and tax setup.

However, I’m now stuck in a holding pattern with Microsoft Partner Center. My domain verification keeps getting rejected without any specific feedback. I've hired outside help to ensure its correct and still after multiple attempts, I still receive the following response from Vetting Operations Support:

"This application is insufficient for the requirements of the program. We are proceeding to archive this case."

Unfortunately, no additional details were provided, and I’m unsure how to proceed.

I'll run out of runway if I can't get this app uploaded for users to start using. Has anyone figured out how to get an actual human to look at their application?!?!

I'm having the same problem. Our domain name is a .co.uk domain which doesn't expose Registrant info by default, but even turning that on hasn't helped us get past employment verification

Me too . "Fix Now" does not work. I need to verify my Partner status to purchase the new equivalent of the MAPS licences.

Anyone resolved this?

I'm facing the same issue for employer verification.
I gave document in compliance with every condition.
It states my name and company's name. 
Business Registration documentations as well.
Yet, i'm still stuck after 2 weeks.
Just received another notification telling me to provide further documentation.
I dont have anything else to provide, i'm the business owner, the business documentation states my name as the rightful owner, domain purchase information states my company's name as well.

I'm dead stuck and losing out on a deal of license purchase.

Hello,

I myself, have similar issue, I submit Support Case for this, and it's an automatic denial, no explanation, no chance to fix the issue.

I myself have noticed this among many other Microsoft Support Services, everything is automated, and there seems to be no hope of fixing our business's status to become a Microsoft Partner.

Even though all requested documents have been submitted, it's very sad to see the state of this in such an automated form with no hope in sight for the future.

I myself, was going to create a post here asking for guidance, but this might be hopeless.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm experiencing the same, 3 months ago for the vet process of AI Cloud Partner, took me weeks to have it settled after i insisted that my documents matches the requirement, which is either
Now that I've renewed my domain for 5 years and registered for CSP Indirect reseller, the same thing happened again, paid invoice was rejected even though the name matches.
Been through it 2 weeks and still no update from support.

This issue is currently driving me crazy ! I have submitted multiple versions of the correct documents but justv get back the same exact standard email.
