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 Imran,

 

Looks like you successfully submitted your profile for the review. 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 about your profile approval status.

 

Thank you.

Thank you Goran. I keep adding it in, submitting, then it refreshes the page and the city field is empty.

Hi Shirish,

 

1. Your profile is approved and you can start sending proposals when you`re ready.

2. Once the review is completed our team is sending an email with the results. It is possible that you have received your email in the junk or spam folders. 
If you have any additional questions let me know, thank you.

It looks like it has been approved, but I'm quite sure that like most mistakes, this one can be rectified.

Hey,

 

I have filled out every section of "Create your profile" but every time I click on "review application", it loads for 2 seconds and then goes back to the same page where at the bottom I can click on "review application" again and again and again. And there are no missing fields or any red marks. 

I already cleared my cache and cookies but no luck.

 

What can I do?

I'm new to upwork. I don't know if my profile has been accepted/verified or not. I understand that there is supposed to be a 24 hour period of waiting but it looks like my account is ready, I'm just not sure.
