Hi Dee Ann Jo,

 

Thank you for your message and welcome to Upwork! I'm happy to report that your profile has been approved. You can check this on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved! 

 

Here are some resources I compiled to help you get started on Upwork; I suggest you review each of them carefully:

Hi Yusra,

 

I checked your account and it was accepted. As an exclusive member of the agency, you won’t be able to use your freelancer membership plan/connects. Exclusive agency members can only work on contracts under the agency.

 

To update your exclusivity, log into your Upwork Agency account and look under Settings - Members and Permissions.

 

Thank you!

hello. I just checked but I am still unable to apply. I don't have any
connects as well. Neither did I get a confirmation message of approval.

Hi Yusra,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked and it looks like your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace once you buy more Connects. Please make sure you check the resources in this post to help you get started. 

 

Thank you

Pradeep

Thank you for your response Luiggi. Can you please tell me when I'd be verified? Because I'm not getting any option of identity verification in the setting. Thanks!

Hi Hifza,

 

I'd like to clarify that your account is in fact accepted, but it doesn't look like you are required to complete any verification at the moment. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification in the future.
