Why is my project not being approved?

[sumairamjadali]

Hi all! I have made a consultation on 15 May and a project catalog on 16 May but today is 23 and none of them are approved, they are still in "Pending Approval". Can anyone help me getting them approved, thanks.

Hey Upwork Team, 

I have submitted two projects in my project catalog on 12th May and 22th May respectively. I did get any response yet, it's been 2-3 weeks. It would be really helpful for mw if you look into the matter and solved this issue ASAP. It is impacting my job proposal response and wasting my efforts on proposal submission as well as my connects. 

Best Regards, 

Faria Saeed.

Hey Upwork team,

I submitted my three project catalogs for review one month ago, but none of them were approved. I have not received any communication from your team regarding changes needed in my project catalogs. 

Kindly address this issue as soon as possible.

Hello everyone,

It's been 19 days since I submitted my project to the catalog on May 7th, and it is still under review.

Has anyone else experienced a similar delay? What steps can I take in this situation?

Thank you!

Hi, 

I submitted a project proposal for approval. It's been 10 days and I have not received any update on its approval from Upwork. I read on the forum that approval time is usually 5 working days. How can I follow up on this?

Hello,

I've been registered on Upwork for over a year with no success, despite having good experience and a complete portfolio. I recently discovered the feature to set up a product catalog. I've created two different projects, but it's been two weeks and neither one has been approved yet. I have a few questions: first, how long does the approval process usually take based on your experience? Second, are project catalogs worth the effort?

Thank you,

[2ee79b51]

Hi there.  I submitted a project on my portfolio a few weeks ago, and it's still under review.  There was a message on the page saying that reviews and approvals are taking longer than usual, but I'm wondering if you have an idea when my project will be considered.  It is time-sensitive to certain sports seasons, so I'm looking to have this available to potential clients as soon as possible.  Thanks for anything you can tell me.

Hi Andrea,
Does Upwork provide any form of compensation for those who have submitted a project and are waiting for a very long time?
I submitted my project 10 days ago. Still pending status

Hi Upwork Team, 

I submitted my projects April 25, 2024 and it's been a month now but I haven't heard any response yet regarding my project catalogue.

Thank you.

Hi Yusra,

We understand that you are looking for an update on your project. As confirmed by Pradeep in this post, we are experiencing delays in reviewing Consultation and Catalog projects. You’ll be notified by email when the review is complete. 

[8de7e5e4]

Hi Yusra if you are talkin about project catalog you can submit proposal without project catalog.

there are alot of optimizations needs to be done on your profile like specialized profiles are missing porfolio is missing skills are missing.

[1f21b534]

I am writing to request the approval of my recently submitted project catalog.

Your prompt approval would greatly assist me in showcasing my skills and attracting new clients on the platform. If there are any modifications or additional information required, please let me know, and I will address them immediately.

[8de7e5e4]

There are alot of optimization required on your profile i think so you wrote your profile description using chat gpt.

secondly there are no specialized profile on your profile. there are no keywords added to your profile. and you have only 2 portfolios. i would recomend you to add minimum 10 portfolio to show case your work. is your profile 100% complete?
