processing time of new account

[Juliette E]

I have created my account and profile on Upwork but I cannot click the Submit a Proposal button on projects I would like to apply for.  I created my account 2 days ago, but it was over the weekend.  I did not get any notification email from Upwork.

I submitted application for the right to work in Upwork, but after 24 hours I have not received an email I'm accepted or not. And in the profile there is no message "Your profile is under review". There is a notification "Congrats, you're now part of Upwork! Tips to get started:" but I thought the email notification should be mandatory. How do I know if I can start work?

Hi,

I have applied to join the Upwork network almost 3 weeks ago and I haven’t heard anything since. Do you know how long an approval normally takes?
