I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

I signed up when I was in the US but never set up a profile. I now live in Pakistatn and when I login, I only have the option to set up my profile and cannot change my location. Therefore, it keeps asking me for a US phone number which I don't have so I am stuck. I need a US number to verify so I can get out the set up phase to change my country but I cannot verify my account unless I change my country.

Hmm... This really should be easier to do... even if Upwork doesn't want freelancers to be able to change the country of residence indicated on their profile change on their own... At least make it clear how to ask for help doing so.
Provide a standard button or something that can be clicked to kick off a change-country-of-residence process.
Maybe providing that would make it even more likely that freelancers' profile information will be accurate.
Especially if said easy-to-use button would trigger a process that requires authentication of he country of residence through an Upwork employee.
