Complex Verification Issue:

Complex Verification Issue: Seeking Assistance from the QuickBooks Community

Hello QuickBooks Community,

I’m reaching out after encountering a challenging situation with my account verification process, which, despite my best efforts and extensive communication with support (over 5 hours on the phone), remains unresolved. I'm hoping someone here may have encountered a similar situation or can offer guidance.

The Core of the Issue

• Admin Upgrade Request: The company owner sent me an upgrade link for admin permissions on QuickBooks Desktop which required me to log into my Intuit QuickBooks Online account.
• Password Recovery Attempt: Having forgotten my password, I initiated the recovery process. This required verification through my phone or email.
• Overseas Phone Complication: Currently residing overseas permanently, my US-based phone is inaccessible for text verification, leading me to opt for email verification.
• Verification Loop: After receiving and using the verification code via email, the system unexpectedly requested access to my old, inaccessible US phone number.
• Intuit Verification Steps Encountered: In attempting to resolve this, I followed the identity verification steps provided by Intuit. However, it was discovered that my account information couldn't be located in their system.

Actions Taken

• Extensive Support Communication: I have dedicated around 5 hours on calls with QuickBooks support to navigate through this issue.
• Intuit's Verification Guidance Followed: I've diligently followed the verification guidance provided by Intuit, including attempting ID verification through instructions received 

Requesting Community Insight

Given this complex scenario, I’m turning to you, the community, for any advice, shared experiences, or solutions. Specifically, I’m looking for:

• Similar Experiences: Has anyone been in a similar situation, especially with overseas phone complications, and found a workaround?
• Guidance on Intuit Verification: Insights into successfully navigating the verification process with Intuit under these specific circumstances.
• Alternative Support Suggestions: Recommendations for alternative support channels within Intuit that might be more suited to address this unique challenge.

Conclusion

I am in urgent need of resolving this issue as it’s hindering my ability to access critical functionalities within QuickBooks for our company. I immensely value any assistance, advice, or insights that the QuickBooks community can provide.
