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 Aftab,

 

You can use a formal salutation as your First Name, you can use "Mr." For the Last Name, you can use "Aftab" so that your profile name reads "Mr. Aftab."

 

Please check this help article for more information on how to update your profile name.

 

Thank you.

Hello.

First of all, sorry if this is not the right place to post about this issue, if I should have posted in a different category, please let me know.

So I joined Upwork yesterday, and it's been more than 24 hours and I haven't gotten the email that's supposed to inform me if my application has been approved or not. Yet, ..

When I log into Upwork I see a message : "Congrats ! You're now part of Upwork.." and tips on how to get started working. I am receiving tips by email as well. I can see projects and am able to see the "submit proposal" buttons as well. So I am confused if this means that I was approved, but somehow the email somehow did not get sent ..? Or does everyone get this even before approval ..?

Thank you so much for your help, in advance.

Hi
I've created an Upwork account using an invitation link, sent by the client.

After completing my profile and click on "Review Profile". It's showing me the following message :

"We're sorry, but something went wrong. Please try again or contact support"

 

Please help me to solve this issue and continue the registration process on Upwork

 

Thank You in advance

Hi,

 

I have not received any emails confirming that I've been approved, but I can see that my profile is available for others to see. Does that mean that I've been approved?

Thanks
