Developer Program enrollment stuck for over 2 weeks — "cannot be completed at this time", case escalated with no updates

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone here has been through this and can offer some insight, because I've run out of visibility through the normal support channel.

The situation:

I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program and got the error "Your enrollment could not be completed at this time." I opened a support case (ref: 102910424858) on June 7. Support told me my trusted device/phone number is already associated with an existing Apple Developer account. I checked my Account Security settings at account.apple.com — all trusted devices and phone numbers belong to me, and I'm not aware of any other developer account linked to my details. I submitted my passport as requested on June 10. On June 12 I was told the case was escalated to senior advisors. It's now June 19 — a full week of silence since the escalation, and nearly two weeks since I opened the case. No update, no timeline, and no indication of whether anything is still needed from my end. My questions:

Has anyone resolved the "trusted device already associated with an existing developer account" block? How long did it take, and what actually unblocked it? Is there a way to find out which account my trusted device is supposedly linked to? Support hasn't told me, and I genuinely don't know of another account. Are there any escalation routes beyond replying to the existing case? (e.g., a different contact form, phone support, a feedback channel that actually gets a response.) I understand these reviews take time, but a full week of total silence after escalation — with my development work blocked the whole time — is hard to plan around. Any pointers from people who've hit the same wall would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks.
