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

Just to confirm that your application haven't been submitted for a review. Your name on Upwork needs to be your full legal name. If you would like to work as a team, you will need to open an agency. If you`re ready please go to the bottom of the page and click on Review Application.

Hi,

It has been more than two days but my profile seems to be still under review. Should I wait or is there an issue? 

Thanks!

I did submit it for review though. Even cleared my cookies and did it.
Though the place where it says "city" keeps getting deleted.

 

Be patient.

It may take a few days.

 

For a creative writer?

Maybe longer.

Maybe never.

Hi Srijani,

 

The review process can take up to 48 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 approval status. 

 

Thanks!

~ Bojan
Upwork

 

Your profile may indeed end up getting rejected.

But don't assume the process is finished simply because it has been under review for 48 hours.

 

We're at the start of a long weekend.


The review may be finished in an hour.

Or a week.

Or longer.

Be patient.

Hi Kaustubn,

 

Please allow another 24 hours for the review to be completed. Once it's done, our team will reach out to you with the results. Thank you.

Thanks Goran.

Will wait.

How I can know that my upwork account is approved?

Hi Tufan,

 

Your profile was accepted, feel free to start bidding on projects. You can also check out this thread Getting Started on Upwork and learn more about Upwork.

 

Thank you!

Hello,

Any update?

It's been two days and my profile is still under review, I've not gotten any response from the Upwork team yet. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

We're at the start of a long weekend.

 

The approval process may finish within the next two hours.

Or it may take a few days.

Maybe a week or longer.

 

Be patient.

Hi Clinton, Yara, and George, 

I apologise for the delay. I'll go ahead and follow up with the team so that they can complete the review of your account.

Dear Bojan,

My profile has yet to be approved in order for me to start submitting proposals.
I joined Upwork on 25 November 2019. It's been 3 days now.

The prompt message states:
"Your profile is under review
You should hear back within 24 hours. You will be able to submit proposals once your profile is approved."

May you give me tips on how to get my profile to be approved?

Looking forward to your kind assistance and reply.

Thank you.

Yara

It is the start of a long holiday weekend. May happen in an hour. Or one more day. Or week. Be patient.

Is it approved now? If not then please let me know.

Hi Muhammad, 


I checked your account and it looks like it's been a few months already since your Upwork profile registration was approved. Are you seeing a notification on your account about your account still being reviewed?

It is a holiday week for Thanksgiving in the US so I suggest that you just be patient.

Hi Joan,

 

Sure I will wait.

 

Thanks.

I signed up for a new account on Upwork last Friday and I was told my account will be reviewed and someone will get back to me within 24hrs. It's been almost a week now. Just curious as to why it is taking so long. Why not just say someone will get to me rather than be so specific with the time and then nothing happens?

This length of wait is normal.

And you're in the middle of a long Thanksgiving weekend.

You may need to wait another week, or longer.

 

Your suggestion is a good one: Why say 24 hours when it isn't really going to happen within 24 hours?

 

I think that one should look at 24 hours as a "goal" rather than think of it as a "fact."

Thank you Preston for your speedy response. I think they should just take
out the 24hrs. It makes the company look bad. There is no need to try to
impress then look so bad when they dont followup on their word.

Hi. Can someone help me. My application is still under review 48 hours after submitted. Thanks so much in advance 🙏🏻

Dear Upwork community,


There seems to be a problem with the reviewing process of my profile. I have submitted my profile for 3 days now, without any response (neither the denial or acceptation of my profile).
 Since Upwork says that 'I will get a response within 24 hours', I am not sure as to what I must do now.

 

I hope that you have an answer for me.

Best regards,

Jesper Lagerwerf
