Two months stuck in verification with zero actionable feedback.

Hello Partner Compliance / Vetting team,

 

I am posting here out of frustration, because after two months we have run out of other options.

 

We are a fully registered, completely legitimate company trying to enroll in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and as a CSP Indirect Reseller. Every piece of our information is valid: the legal business name and registered address match our national company registry exactly, we own our email domain, we have a live business website, and the primary contact is a real named individual on a company-domain email. There is nothing about our company that is unclear or unverifiable.

 

Despite this, our verification keeps getting rejected — and every single time we appeal or contact support, we receive the exact same generic, copy-paste response with no specifics whatsoever. The entire reply we get, every time, is:

 

"We've reviewed your appeal for verification. Based on the information you have provided to date, we have determined that your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification. We have closed your application."

 

That is the whole message. It does not say which check failed (Email ownership? Employment? Business? Due diligence?). It does not say what information was supposedly wrong. It does not say what to fix. The "Fix now" button does not even let us upload anything. We also have a support case open (Case ID 2606080040005279), and it has gone nowhere — front-line support openly tells us they cannot see the vetting details and cannot help.

 

So I have to ask plainly: how is a legitimate, properly registered business supposed to pass a process that gives no actionable feedback at all? It is frankly unacceptable that the only way to reach a human who can actually look at our case is to hunt down a public community forum, two months in, and hope someone responds. This is not a reasonable onboarding experience for partners who simply want to do business with Microsoft.

 

What I am asking for:

1. A manual review of our account by someone who can actually see the vetting result.

2. The specific check that failed and the exact discrepancy found — i.e. tell us what is wrong so we can fix it.

3. Reopening / reset of the closed application.

 

We can immediately provide every supporting document — company registry extract, VAT and DUNS records, domain ownership invoice, and government-issued ID for the primary contact. To keep things private, I will share full account details via direct message on request.

 

We genuinely want to be a Microsoft partner. We just need someone to tell us what to fix instead of sending the same closed-application email on a loop.

 

Thank you,

Armin

    Unfortunately, that's how the vetting team of MSFT works lately. When they say 'no', the answer is final and they just ignore you for the rest. You would not be able to re-enroll with your current tenant / Partner ID, as it's been blocked. Even escalations to higher level teams and account managers does nothing. 

     

    Answer I've received for a partner of ours which was kicked out of the MAICPP and CSP programs without clear reason: 

    "

    If a partner has been suspended/offboarded without cause, there is no path to be re-instated. We also do not divulge the reasons why a partner is offboarded without cause so the statements provided by the support team is correct and per CELA’s guidance.

    The only path forward for these partners are to re-enroll on a new account or tenant. If they are stuck, they need to create a support ticket that is asking for support to unblock vs trying to ask the reason why they have been suspended as Support cannot share why and have to close the ticket with the CELA approved response.

     

    Meaning, just start over again with a new tenant.

      Thank you for the reply​. The issue is we have never been a partner, so we are stuck in the current process. Even the status of CSP is currently pending qualification, but without any mail or way to provide additional documentation to proceed.
