the client is saying he will pay money when he is in usa as there is no transcation between algeria and usa. is this right?

Regardless of whether his reason is legitimate or bogus, be sure not to provide him with any work until he has fully funded the project or milestone. Otherwise you're working for free and trusting he'll pay you in the future.

Maybe it has something to do with the exchange rates? But no that doesn't sound right to me.

But I agree with Craig. Tell the client: "Great! As soon as you're in the US, go ahead and find the milestone/verify your payment method (make sure these things are both done, by the way), and I'll get started then, just let me know! Thanks!"

That is BS. If the project is FUNDED Upwork has done the homework. If it is not funded the client is trying to take advantage of you. Do not work or give him any work.

But be gentle in your response to him say something like,"Upwork requires me to only work on funded projects. You may want to contact Upwork and straighten out the billing and payment issues."
