  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?

New System of upwork, I've been making accounts in the last 3 months or so, upwork would never grant approvals and there reasons are marketplace are flooded with common type of skills or freelancers.

Hi Bojan,

Thanks a lot for letting me know.

Hello, 

 

I believe I went through all the appropriate steps and procedures to get my profile up and running, but have yet to hear back from anybody about whether or not it has been approved to start work. It has been almost a week now since I set everything up. I was given an estimated turnaround time of approximately 24 hours.  

 

Please advise and let me know any steps I can take to expedite this process. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to the many possibilities on your platform. 

 

Cheers, 

John

Hello,

 

I have waited over the 24hr period and have not heard back to see if my profile has been approved. Out of curiousity, I found I was able to submit a proposal. Does this mean my profile has been approved?

I am new to upwork and I recently applied to be a freelancer.

However, it has been more than 24 hrs and I haven't received any communication on whether my account has been approved or denied. Am I doing anything wrong?

Gerry.

I am guessing this has been asked before but to be more spesific I am a bit confused about this waiting time on upwork. I did submit my profile more than 24 hrs ago but it still says "You should hear back within 24 hours...." 

 

It would be more clear if it said something like "within few days" then we wouldn't worry if we did something wrong for the processes we did.

Why?

Because people aren't perfect.

 

An imperfect person wrote that.

 

I think it represents more of a goal.

It is a noble goal.


It is NOT intended to be a "fact" or a "true average amount of time."

My concern is to be sure that there is nothing wrong on my side that cause this imperfection. Waiting few days is not a big deal if a person commited to work with upwork but that "unknown time period" makes unnecessary questions like the one i got now. It could be better represented by making that warning message without a time tip if it's not a fact to prevent this confusing. 

Hi Muzaffer,

 

I apologize for the delay. I'll go ahead and follow up with the team, once the process is complete, you will receive an email and a notification about your approval status. Thank you for reaching out to us.

Thank you Bojan,

 

Looking forward to see my profile is activated. 

It was "should" and not "will". There is a difference. 

My profile is still under review after 24 hours

Hi Arafat,

 

I'll follow up with the team about the status of your profile and they will have it updated as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!
