Partnership Application Process

I have submitted my application to become a Partner. I have been in a status - pending for 6 days now and it seems that the process is stalled. Are there any other users experiencing this situation?   Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi JillArmourMicrosoft​,
    I hope you are well.
    I applied for the Microsoft AI Cloud Partnership about a week ago.
    The Account settings look ok, but the Legal Info and Identifiers pages are blank as yet. Can you kindly advise HOW to contact support? The link takes to a loop of documents, readings and info, which feels like a never ending loop, with no solution. Appreciate if you can advise some way so this mystery is resolved. Thanks for your great help.

    Can you also advise how to create a new ticket here? I find it quite difficult nd cumbersome to navigate through the pages, just to figure out how to get support and how to create a new ticket.

    Standard Verification Time for Partner Applications

     

    Hey there! I totally feel your frustration. I've been through a similar wait before, and honestly, 6 days is still within the 'normal' window for Microsoft's manual review. Sometimes their compliance team gets a backlog, especially if there’s a high volume of new applications.

    From what I’ve seen, it usually takes anywhere from 7 to 14 business days. While you wait, I’d suggest double-checking if there are any pending 'Action Required' notifications in your Partner Center dashboard-sometimes a small document verification can stall the whole thing without a clear alert.

    You might find these official resources helpful for tracking the exact steps of the verification process:

    1. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/enroll/verification-responses -  This explains why some accounts get stuck in 'Pending' status.
    2. https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/supporthttps://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/support -  If it crosses the 10-day mark, you should definitely open a ticket here.

     

    Hang in there, it’s likely just a manual queue issue!
