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!

Hey!

 

I am Sonali Pal I have updated all the information in my account But my account is not approved yet.

There is no submit button showing on my PC and I can't even do visual verification.

Why is it taking so long to approve.

Hi Sonali,

 

Thank you for reaching out. I checked and can confirm that your account has already been accepted and you may start submitting proposals now. 

 

If you are referring to the ID Verification process, it looks like it doesn't need further verification yet. Please remember that you cannot initiate the identity verification yourself, and cannot be requested. If the team finds the need for you to do it, you will receive an email detailing the instructions for completing your verification.

Hello,

I completed my identity verification a few months ago. Could someone please check the status of my ID verification? I haven't received any emails after I uploaded my ID. Thanks

An indicator of this is your ability to send proposals now. You may start submitting proposals to job posts that best suit your expertise and experience!

May I know whether my proposal is accepted or not. What if the proposal is accepted, where do you start working on the assignment? sorry I'm a beginner

I uploaded the PDF from Linkedin - the page opened on upwork listing my experience - however 1 description box says that the information is only 1/5 complete - it ask to edit - but when I press the edit button or the delete button , neither of them work - so I cannot go forward with the profile creation as it just repeats the message that the information is only 1/5 complete.
