Shashank,

Please, note that your profile overview has to be written by you and needs to accurately describe your own skills and experience. The team will follow up with you directly.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'd like to know if my profile has been approved as I haven't recieved any email regarding this.

[VladimirG]

Hi Bhavya,

I can confirm your profile is now approved.

[rheyvin]

Hi Rheyvin, 

Have you chosen a membership plan already? Please go to your Settings page > Membership & Connects > and pick out a plan that best suit your needs. You should be able to start bidding for jobs once you have chosen an membership plan. 

[rheyvin]

Yes Maam I did. But does it mean that may profile was approved already?

[AveryO]

Hi Rheyvin, 

You should be good to go. You might be requested to verify your profile in the future, just watch out for that notification.

Hi,
I would like to know if my account is approved or not?
There is no re-submit on my profile but I can't submit a proposal either. There is no connects available for me. It wants me to buy connects. I got an email and says that THERE IS NO STOPPING YOU NOW.

It's not 7:40 p.m. in Virginia. Kind of thinking you're not in Virginia.

Agreed. If the OP is where he says he is, he should be about six hours behind my local time (CAT), and not four hours ahead, which would place him on the Indian sub-continent, or thereabouts.  Maybe a moderator should take a look at this.

[hasan452]

Its not what you guys are thinking. My laptop was open and and younge rbro changed the  time zone....

Sorry for that. But would be pleased if you kindly help me.

[reinierb]

Really? Your younger brother just went ahead and changed the time zone on your profile?

Methinks it is exactly what we think it is, so if I were you, I'd enter the correct time zone/location before your account gets suspended before you can even begin to work here.

 Oh, okay. Sorry for jumping to the wildly wrong conclusion that you were misrepresenting your location. 

Yeah, my kids used to mess with each other that way all the time, by changing the time zones on each other's laptops. I understand completely.

Apologies.

[kochubei_valeria]

Nazeeb and Md Ashraful,

Please, note that freelancers on Upwork are required to provide only truthful and accurate information about their identity, skills and experience. It includes information about their location and profile pictures.

Refer to the email notifications our Marketplace Quality team sent to both of you for more information.

Hello, May I know my account is approved no or not as I didn't get any confirmation email and  I am able to send a proposal?

 Again, please read Valeria's post above about how everything has to be truthful and correct on your profile.  

I'm pretty sure you're not in Houston becasue I live just 20 minutes north of Houston and it's not 8:53 PM here right now. 

[jmlaidlaw]

Maybe Usman also has a mischievous little brother.

 Ha Ha right, those pesky little brothers changing time zones. What will we ever do with them. 

[omermujtaba]

Can anyone if my profile is approved? I am not able to send proposals. 😞 

[sheenaraesamil]

Thanks,

Sheena

[g_vasilevski]

So, please give me a solution that what can I do and how much it's time for sending me an email about account approved.

Happy Upworking!

[rawlinson2013]

Good Afternoon, 

I submitted my profile yesterday afternoon.  As of now, I have not received any notification from Upwork regarding any needed changes or if the profile has been rejected.  I have read over each section multiple times to ensure everything has been completed correctly and with as much information as possible.  

Can anyone help me with this matter or point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance, 

Patricia Rawlinson

Patricia, I was able to load your Profile, and it looks pretty good. I do have one huge suggestion, which relates to you specifically, and your safety on Upwork. Your in a category that gets a lot of scam job invites. Please, please be on the side of safety and read this:

Tips To Avoid Questionable Jobs

And while you are at it, you might also want to read this thread about Getting Started on Upwork.

[rawlinson2013]

Thank you Pandora H. for your suggestions.  I've also joined another Freelancer site and have already seen the scams rolling in.  I try to be very vigilant when reviewing any ads or proposals.

[kochubei_valeria]

Hi Patricia,

Due to the volume of freelancers registering recently, it may take a bit longer for profiles to be reviewed.

We appreciate your patience.

[rawlinson2013]

Thank you Valeria, for your response.  I look forward to hearing from someone..

[carlacamasura]

Hello Upwork community, may I also ask if my profile has already been approved?

[VladimirG]

Hi Carla,

Yes, your profile was recently approved.

[guarinphizer_r69]

Hello, I would just like to know if my profile is already approved.

Thank you.

[kochubei_valeria]

Hi Phizer Roche,

You'll see a notification at the top of your page if your profile is pending a review. Once that notification is gone, you'll know, your profile is approved.

[jmlaidlaw]

Hi, Phizer Roche (not Pfizer Roche?) -- I am eager to learn that your profile is approved and that you have landed jobs at $100/hour as a telemarketer or similar. That would be good news all around.

[lysis10]

Janean you have to dream and never give up and things and ideas and something about working hard. I'm not up to date with my motivational memes. I notice a lot of really broke people post them or really rich people post them like the polar opposite of the clueless spectrum.

[jmlaidlaw]

Yes, Jennifer --

You have to have a passion and not let the haters get you down. Didn't your parents tell you that you could do anything you wanted to, as long as you wanted it badly enough? (I am still waiting to be invited to sing opera at the Met.) 

I once glanced through a TinTin comic in Spanish and I understood it pretty well, just based on my knowledge of French and Latin. I am thinking of promoting myself as an English-to-Spanish translator. I will work hard and use translation tools and dictionaries and stuff.

Hello!

Thank you
