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,

Hi, I signed up as a new freelancer on Upwork on Aug 30 but it's still showing as "Your application is under review".

 

Can somebody please help me to resolve this?

Bojan S Community Manager

Hi Deepu,

 

I checked and it doesn't look like you are required to complete any verification process at the moment.

 

The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification process in the future.

 

Thank you!

Hi, I am a WordPress developer. 

I really want to get my profile approved and start working on Upwork. 

But I got this message below today. Could you please help me fix the issues that I am having on my profile.?

 

Thank you

 

 

Your profile requires changes

We've hidden your profile because it does not meet the following Upwork guidelines. You will not be able to submit proposals until these issues are fixed. Check these support messages for more details.

Please edit your profile and then resubmit for review.' I tried several times with some changes of my skill but I can't submit.

Please help me.

Thanks.

Azizi.

Hi there!

I have been waiting for approving my profile already for many days.

Hello.

In my case, I opened the account in 2017 but never used it until now.

I guess you have to be patient, just don´t give up and keep trying.

A friend of mine got it approved on the 5th attempt.

Sometimes, the market is saturated, so there is no room for more freelancers.

Best,

Leyre
