Enrollment on hold - sanctions list false positive - no response after submitting documents

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I've been stuck in enrollment limbo for over a week and Apple support hasn't responded.

My situation:

  • Applied for Apple Developer Program
  • Received email saying my enrollment is on hold because my name "fully or partially matches" someone on the U.S. consolidated screening list
  • Verified my identity via the upload portal on December 30, 2025 (submitted passport)
  • Sent follow-up email confirming document submission
  • Checked the screening list at legacy.export.gov/csl-search - my name is NOT listed

I've received no response, no confirmation of document receipt, and no timeline for resolution.

Has anyone else experienced this false positive situation? How long did it take to resolve? Any tips for getting a response from Apple Developer Relations?

This is blocking my app development work and I'd appreciate any advice from the community.

Thanks!
