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

To whom it may concern... I've posted my profile info for confirmation repeatedly since last week. So far I've received no response to my query. Please help.

Hi,

I would like to know whether my profile has been approved.

 

Thanks!

Hi Jasmine,

I heard that it takes 24h for a profile to be approved. In my case, 24h passed already, will I be notified whether is approved/declined? (I haven't received any mail, checked the spam section as well). I'm afraid not to miss the opportunity. 

 

Thank you & Have a beautiful week! 

Stefan K. 

Think of "24 hours" as sort of a goal. Something to strive for.

That doesn't mean it will really happen for you.

Could be a few days. Could take a few weeks. Be patient.

Hi Stefan,

 

It looks like you haven't submitted your profile for a review yet. Please, make sure all the fields are completed and then click Review Application at the bottom of the page.

 

Our team will reach out to you with the results within 24 hours.

 

Thank you.

Indeed I had some errors I wasn't aware of. 

 

Everything's fine now, I'm doing the next steps. 

 

Have a great day!

Hello,

I have recently submitted my application to join upwork but my profile is not yet approved or rejected it has been more than 48 hours and I haven't received any email.

On my upwork account it just says "If your profile is approved, it will become the public profile you’ll use to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after approval).

Looking for inspiration? Check out these tips."

Since I have submitted the profile it says the same till now. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Sajjad,

 

I checked your account and can see that you are yet to submit it for review. You have yet to fill-in your City field in the address section of your account application. When you click on Review Application, all the things highlighted in red needs to be reviewed. Once you have updated your profile accordingly, you can submit it for the team’s review. Please know that profile reviews may take from 24-48 hours. 

~ Riri

Thank you for the help. I tried to move forward using the review application button but it wasn't working that time, as it was redirecting me to the same page. But it worked now and asked me to submit application so I did that.

Thank you.

Hi. I reqistered my account yesterday and haven't received my approval status. I was told to wait for a period of 12 hours.

Hi Enock,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs in the general marketplace. Please, make sure you check resources in this post to help you get started.

 

Thank you.

Good day to all,

I am curious whether I need to work better on my profile, it has been over 24 hours after I submitted my initial profile background. I would just like to know whether I need to make revisions on it.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

nothing changes on my profile for last 10 days i think.

"If your profile is approved, it will become the public profile you’ll use to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after approval)."

 

When will I get approved ? 

 

Thank you,

Branko

Hello! I registered my account 7-10 days ago. In the instructions it is mentioned that I was supposed to get an e-mail if it's approved or denied within 24 hours. Unfortunately, I've never receied such an e-mail. What should I do?

A few weeks ago I created an account and profile on Upwork. I clicked "Review Application" and didn't think anything of it, I assumed it was submitted for approval. However, I never received any email or even a notification saying that my account was submitted to be reviewed. I logged in again today to check my status and was surprised to see my default page is still "Create an Account". When I click that "Review Application" button, the page simply refreshes, with no indication that anything has been submitted. I would like to know if there a way to know that my account is actually being reviewed, and when should I expect a response?

I am having the same problem. I would really like to know what is happening.

Hey Bojan,

I tried several times, the only thing that Upwork shows me is the screenshot you see here:

Hi Jernej,

 

You still need to add your city in your address in order to be able to submit your application for a review. Please also clear your cache and cookies, if you`re still experiencing the same problem after this let me know. Thank you.

Your profile has not yet been approved

Once your profile has been approved you can view your default membership plan or upgrade your plan on this page.

What to do for Approval? 

Hi Sanjay,

 

Since you`re an exclusive member of the agency you will not be able to send proposals as a freelancer. If you would like to work as an independent freelancer as well the agency owner will need to change your status to non-exclusive member. Thank you.

Hello Sir!

How can I know if my freelancer upwork profile has been approved? I created it last wednesday night. Will wait for your reply. Thanks!

Regards,
Miriam

Hi Miriam, 

 

I checked your account and I can see that you are yet to submit your profile for review. You need to click the review application button to make sure you did not miss any section of the profile creation process. Any portion that is highlighted in red needs to be filled-in. Please review your application and update the missing fields to be able to submit your profile for review. In this case, please update the city field and resubmit your profile for review. 

 

Once you submit your profile, it takes at least 24 to 48-hours for the process to complete and you will be notified via email about your account.

I have already centered my city field and clicked the Review Application
but still redirect me on the same page. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Miriam Cagalingan

Hi Miriam, 


I tried it on my end and didn't go through any issues. When you type-in your city, please select the city from the drop-down list that will pop below the text field. You can also try clearing your cache, and cookies first, or using a different browser, to see if the issue persists.
