My application to MAICPP(Microsoft AI Cloud Partner) program is pending for 3 weeks

A pending Email Ownership step usually means the primary contact still needs to complete the verification email flow, or the status hasn’t updated yet.

1. In Partner Center, go to Account settings > Legal info > Verification Summary to confirm whether the status is Pending User Action, In Progress – Microsoft Action, or Not Verified.
2. If the application status page is not visible, the application hasn’t been fully submitted yet. Complete the required verification steps first.
3. For Email Ownership, check the primary contact mailbox for the verification message from Microsoft with subject Action needed: Verify your email account with Microsoft.
4. If the email is missing:
   • Check Junk/Spam.
   • Use Resend verification email from the partner profile page or Partner Center account dashboard.
   • Clear browser cache and try again.
   • Try a different browser.
   • Ask the mail or IT team to allow messages from microsoft.com.
5. The email verification link is valid for seven days. If it expired, resend it and complete the new link.
6. After completing the email verification, allow some time for Partner Center status to update. Status changes can take time to reflect across all areas.

Relevant status meanings:

• In Progress – Microsoft Action: Microsoft is reviewing; no action is needed.
• Pending User Action or User Action Needed: more information or a verification step is still required.
• Verified: the check completed successfully.
• Not Verified: the check failed and needs correction.

Enrollment becomes active only once vetting is Authorized. After verification completes, the enrollment status changes from pending to authorized.
