"This freelancer is not available for job invitations"

[Michelle F]

I'm trying to hire a freelancer for one of my jobs, but their profile says, "This freelancer is not available for job invitations."  I was instructed to contact support to get the profile approved for hiring.  Please advise.

I have the same problem.

Hi Christian Kyle,

I checked your account and it looks like it is still under review. The profile review process may take at least 24 hours to complete. Once it's completed, you will receive an email and a notification to your Upwork account to update you of the status of your profile approval. Once approved, you can start submitting proposals.

Good day! I am new to upwork and my profile got rejected but the employer of my cousin wants to hire me but he can't invite me for a job. Can you please help me?

Hi Justine, 

I checked your profile and can see that it was recently accepted. The client should be able to hire you through your Upwork profile.
