Can't change country

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?

Did you move recently?

No, i didn't move anywhere.

I just saved the United States mistakenly on signup and in the last step i can't able to set my real location as Pakistan.

Now, i'm stuck in signup phase.

I signed up with upwork when i was in USA, longtime back, but did not finish my profile. Now I am living in Sri Lanka, and want to complete my profile. Once logged in, I am directed to "Create your Profile" page - there I am not able to change the country of my address. Please advise on how to change the country.

Hi there,

 

Your Country should reflect the one you're physically located in and can verify it. Would you like us to update your country to Pakistan?

Hi, I was half way through creating my profile.
I chose my location as USA, a previous location, and during the profile creation process, it's asking me to add information such as phone number and street address for USA, however, that's not my location at the moment. It's not letting me choose another location, it's not letting me go back and change the initial location and it's not letting me move forward.

How can I fix this?

Hi Kristina,

 

Could you confirm your current location/country so that our team can update it? Thank you.

Hi Gorav,

 

Thank you for replying. My current location is Yerevan, Armenia.

When can I expect the chagne to be made?

Hi Kristina,

 

Your country is now updated, feel free to update the rest of your address once you`re ready. Thank you.

I am currently creating an account with Upwork. I didn't realize I chose Turkey as my country but I am from Kenya, Now I am stuck at the location part. Can someone please help me change this?

Hi Amina,

 

I checked and it seems that your location is already set to Kenya and that you have submitted your profile for review. Please note that it takes at least 24 to 48-hours for the process to complete and you will be notified via email about your account.

 

Thank you.
