Hello,
I received a proposition to apply for a job and when i accepted and tried to submit my proposal it didn't work and I got the message :
"Invalid opening status"
I searched online, including on the forum session of Upwork, but I can't find an answer to what this message could mean. Any idea ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Swathi,
In general, this happens when the job post associated with the invitation is no longer available or was closed by the Upwork team. You can confirm this by going to Find Work > Proposals and checking that this particular invite is not under the "Invitations to interview" section. You may still see the notification from when you were invited but since then the client has either hired another freelancer or decided they would not be hiring and closed the job post.
Hope this helps,

Hello, I am getting this same error. First tried on Chrome and tried resetting my cache and cookies. Then tried on another browser (FireFox). Then tried on my phone (android). Getting the same error "Invalid opening status" every time. This is for an invite only invitation. Is there a solution for this?

Hi Cherith,
I checked and would like to clarify that the job post for the invitation you're referring to is no longer available. If you go to Find Work > Proposals you'll see that there are no invites under the "Invitations to interview" section.
You may still see the notification from when you were invited but since then the client has either hired another freelancer or decided they would not be hiring and closed the job post.

Hi Leonardos,
I checked and it looks like you have successfully submitted a proposal on the job invite you received, while for the other invite, it looks like it has been closed already. You may check the closed jobs in your archived section.

Hi Joanne,
Thanks for your reply 🙂
If it is so, why the chat conversion with that customer is not coming up in the messages as always have been that way. Also is not categorized in the invitations for interview.

Observed Invalid Opening Status while trying to submit a proposal.
Kindly help

I try to submit an offer replying to an invitation (not the first time), but I get "Invalid opening status" message.
I cleaned the cache etc. and tried another browsers, but it didn't help.
Thank you,

Hi. I got the same problem too. It says "Invalid opening status" when I hit the Submit.
Nov 17, 2021 08:07:25 PM by Avery O
Hi Jazelle,
When you get this notification, it means that the job has already been closed or canceled. I apologize for the confusion this may have caused you.

I have responded to invitations before but on my most recent invite I have no option to respond on my computer (I have also tried different browsers - safari and chrome). On the app on my phone, when I click "Refer a freelancer" it finally gives me an option to decline, but then says there's an error and to try again later - which I have done MANY times.
I would like to keep the option open with this client in the future so I would like to respond and I also do not want a no response to negatively affect my profile.
How do I fix this?

Hi Andrea,
I have the same issue. But I clicked on View Job Posting and I see there that the job is still open and client is interviewing other freelancers.
First I had no option of accepting the invitation then I opened my email and click on Submit Proposal from there. After writing proposal when I click submit icon it says "Invalid opening status".
What could be the reason for this error?
Thank you
