How can I know that my profile is approved?

Hello,

 

  1. I would like to know if my profile has been aprroved....?
  2. Can you not have a status marker in the profile information so new users know whether or not they have been approved?

Thx,

Melissa

Hi Sajjad,

 

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.

Hey,

I m a new member . I was trying to activate my account  but a note a shown since more than 24 hours now saying " your profile is under review , it will be approved within 24 hours". What should I do ?

Thanks

Hi Hadhami. You should wait just a little bit. It's ok.

Also one advice - make your profile public/visible. You can do it in Profile Setting - change Visibility to Public.

i applied on monday but till now i have not received an email telling me that my profile has been approved or not.can you help me please

Hi Muhammad,

I checked your profile and you still haven't submitted your application for review. If you`re ready please click on the green button Review Application, if you`re directed back to the same window try logging in with another browser to submit you application. Thank you.

Hello,

 

I created an account with Upwork on the 6th February and am keen to start freelancing, but have not yet received any confirmation of account approval. Could someone please advise as to when I will find this out?

 

Many thanks,

 

Jennifer

Hello,

I did this on the 6th when I filled out my profile but have heard nothing
back since then. Have now pressed to send it for review again.

I have been stuck with this on the page header since the 6th:

If your profile is approved, it will become the public profile you’ll use
to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after
approval).

Many thanks,

Jennifer

I am new at upwork.

And I wanna work on this site.

But my profile is under review and I can't work now.

I hope your help.

The review process takes 24 hours from the time you submitted your profile for review. Once the process is complete, you will receive an email and a notification to your Upwork account to update you of your approval status.
