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?

Hi Fatima,
Unfortunately, freelancers located in Iraq don't have any way to withdraw their earnings, that's why Iraq isn't available on the list of countries you're looking at. Thank you.

My country is set to United states but I now live in Nigeria. 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?
