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 Upwork community!

just started last week -  profile 100%, visibility Public, 4 proposals sent out.

I am reading now the Freelancers' Guide and it says that your profile needs to be approved, or verified.

I did not receive any email from Upwork except for the initial email address verification and marketing messages.

 

What is my status?

Thank you

I created my profile on upwork and would like to know if it has been approved yet?  Is there anything else I need to do before I can start looking for work on Upwork?   How do I set up my payment options?

 

Sincerely,

Kamilla Hall

Hello everyone,

 

Everytime I try to submit my profile to Upwork, which allows my applicaiton to go under review, A box pops up saying that something has gone wrong and I must contact customer support. I haven't been accepted or rejected because Upwork will not submit my profile even though I have filled out the employment background, education, etc. I live in the USA, I am of age, and I check out for legal concerns, so I don't understand why Upwork won't allow me to take the next step and either get rejected or accepted.  How do I move forward to get my application submitted?
