How do I know if my account has been approved?

[Akanksha G]

I have recently created a profile on upwork and filled out all the information but I see only Review Application button at the bottom and no button to Submit my profile. 

I have clicked on Review Applicaiton button a number of times but nothing happens and it takes me back to the same page with my profile details. It has been more than 24hrs since I first created my profile and clicked on Review Application button. Please let me know how do I submit my profile.

Hi Akanksha,

Please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser and click on the Review Application button. If you`re still experiencing the same issue after this let me know, thank you.

 Hi, 
I had submitted the application form for joining upwork and i got the email that my account is not approved, I updated my skills, give tests for the relevant skills and then submitted again but now i can't see the alert which was appearing before saying that my profile is under review so is this mean that my profile is approved ? 

How or where can i check the status ?

Thanks

Hi Abdul,

Your account is approved and you can start sending proposals, if further help is needed let me know. Thank you.

Hi Goran, 

Thanks for your quick response. I have two more questions, I am working on completing my profile and trying to link my other accounts with upwork. I have connected my github and stackoverflow account but when i tried to connect facebook and google it is not connecting and I don't know why ? secondly can you please guide me that if in feauture I update my profile and add some new skills so will my account needs to go under review again ? I mean will updating my skills will effect the status of my profile approval ?

Hi Abdul,

Please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser and try to link your accounts. If you experience the same issue let me know along with what browsers have you used.

Regarding your second question, no your profile won't be under review again and you can update your profile at any time. If you have any additional questions let me know. Thank you.

I don't have the notification bar saying I need approval within 24 hours anymore but I also didn't get an email. How can I tell if I have been approved or not?

Hi Juliana,

I checked and it looks like your account has been accepted. Since you already selected a membership plan you should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace. Please, make sure you check resources in this post to help you get started.

Hi Buse, Normally upwork will take 24 hours to review your accoun.

Let me know when your profile is approve.
