Upwork Project

[aseer-khan]

Hello Community,

My upwork project has not been approved yet. I don't know why it is still in "under review" panel. It has been 5 days since I uploaded the project. Can anyone help me regarding this issue?

5 days doesn’t mean calendar 5 days, it stands for 5 business days.

Thanks for your reply. So how long I have to wait for getting approval?

If this was a fixed-price project with the funds owed to you in escrow, when you submit the work, the client has 14 days to review the work, and ask for any modification if needed before approving payment. So the 5-day security period starts  from the time the client releases the amount.  If the client does nothing at all in those 14 days, then Upwork will automatically release the payment to you. 

When the client or Upwork releases the funds then your money will go into "pending". 

Don't resubmit your work, because that will start the whole process from the beginning again.

He means he created a project catalog project which hasn't been approved yet.

Oh OK - thanks Petra - and sorry @ Aseer, I don't use that feature. 

(Ambiguous that word "project". I use it a lot of the time simply to describe a job)

It's ok Nichola Mam. I understand that. 🙂
