Hi Njovu,
The team has emailed you last Monday regarding your account. To speed up the approval of your profile, please change your photo to one that shows a clear image of your face. I would recommend that you also add more information on your overview so clients have an idea of your expertise.
Let me also share a few other resources that you may need as a new freelancer on Upwork. You can find valuable information in the Getting Started as a Freelancer section of the Help Center. I also advise watching our educational videos and reading the best practice advice shared by other users:

Not using someone else's photo would be a great start. Fake profiles are not allowed.

Hello Joanne Marie P,
Could you also review my account? It is under review stage for more than a Month.
Please help me.
Thanks

Hi Bharat,
I looked on the account for you and I can see that you have not completed the registration. You must select a City and submit your application for review.

Hello Mary H,
Thanks for your reply.
I submitted many times my profiles filled up all details properly. But everytime when click to review application; it will redirect again show my profile for review application and this time my city removed from list.
As per your suggection i'm again filled my city name "Noida".
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Bharat
Feb 3, 2019 11:22:13 PM by Jo-An B
Hi Bharat,
I have checked and can see Noida is available on the City field. Once you select it from that drop down, it should auto-fill all the fields.

I can finally apply for some jobs yey! 🙂

i am facing same problem. and getting this error Your profile is being reviewed. It must be approved before you can submit a proposal. .please lemme know what should i do?
Apr 15, 2016 10:32:59 AM by Valeria K
Hi Emi,
Before your profile can be approved you may need to replace your profile picture with an actual photo of you, revise your profile title and expand your profile overview with more information about your skills and experience. Make sure your overview, title, name, certifications, employment and education history sections do not have spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors, and the words are capitalized where appropriate.

Hello,
I am having the same issue. I created a profile three days ago, and it still says to wait 12 hours for approval. I haven't received any word on what to do differently, or how I might improve my profile to ensure approval. Am I missing something?
Thank you,
Nicholas
Jul 28, 2016 02:36:50 PM by Valeria K
Hi Nicholas,
Sorry about the delay. I am happy to let you know that your profile has been approved and you should be able to submit proposals on Upwork now.

Hi there,
I am having the same issue. I created a profile 2 days ago, and still have a message to wait 12 hours for approval. I haven't received any email on how I might improve my profile to ensure approval. Can I do something to spead up the process?
Thank you

Hi Kat,
Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the process of getting your account approved. In the meantime, you may want to check Vladimir's thread on how you can get started on Upwork. There are links on this thread on how you can improve your profile which you may want to check out.

Hi Allen,
Sorry about the late reply, I see your profile was already approved.
