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, 

 

My accounts shows it is still under review for more than 24hrs already. Does this mean anything?

 

Thanks

Hello. It’s been three weeks since I’ve registered my profile. No answer at all. Not sure what could be wrong, but three weeks is much more than stated 24 hours.

It typically takes 24 hours to review your application and Upwork will notify you if your application is approved or declined.

I haven't gotten an email about whether or not I've been accepted on Upwork. I'm also not seeing the message "Your profile is under review" like the Upwork Help Center says I should. I'm not sure what I should do to find out if I'm accepted because I haven't gotten an email.

Hello, I try to register as a freelancer, i fill the form and at the end it looks like I have only the option to become a client. Can someone tells me where I do the mistake to end up there?

I don’t know if I’m stressing it but my profile has now been in the “profile is being reviewed” for 40 hours. I have not gotten a email either. Should I wait until a week has passed?

Hi. I left Upwork two years ago for health reasons and now I am back recently. I have tried submitting proposals and every time I do, there's a window that pops up and says, "Thank you for completing your Upwork verification upload. Please allow 3-4 business days for your verification to be processed." I don't understand. I didn't submit and ID because in the first place I was not asked to. It just said, "Thank you..." and so on and it's been over 4 days since and I still can't apply for a job and submit proposal(s). There's no button to click either so I can upload my ID if that's what all Upwork is asking for. Can anyone help me please? Thank you.
