Account Suspended

[Juan Diegp P]

I opened my Upwork account in 2015 when I moved to the US for school. At that time I wasn´t allowed to work in the US because of my immigration status (F1 Student Visa) and I think that´s why my account was suspended. I just got a new immigration status (O1 Visa) which allows me to work in the US as a graphic designer. Is there any way I can get my account reactivated? Can someone help me out with this issue?

Hi Juan Diego, 

I'll go ahead and look into your account and get back to you once I have more information.

Hi Juan, 

The limitation to your account is now lifted. If you try applying for jobs with a U.S. location requirement, you will be prompted to verify your location then. Once location verified, you should be able to start working on projects that has a U.S. location requirement.
