Hi Jeun,
You probably just need to give it some more time. I would wait until at least end of business on Tuesday before raising any concern.
This thread seems like it might be helpful: https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/How-can-I-know-that-my-profile-is-approved/m-p/550422/...

If it has been weeks then it seems likely you would have heard back from Upwork by now. Have you checked your bulk/spam email folders? Is there any way that a communication could have been missed?
Oct 31, 2020 08:07:46 PM by Youssef B
Hello Jeun, when I tried to check your profile, it said that it is not public. If I were you, I'd just check my Email and filter the recent Emails. If you found nothing, consider that it takes a while to get your profile approval or rejection. So be patient and wait till next week, for example, and try to contact the support, hopefully, everything would be fine.
Wish you the best.

Hi there,
Please assist.
I would like to find out if my account is approved or rejected, as I am not certain.
I received an email saying congratulations, your profile is now live, you can submit proposals then a few days later I received another mail saying we cannot accept your application. This is my second application attempt, with the first one it was mentioned that I should upskill. During that time I obtained a Microsoft cert. and then submitted my application again with Upwork.
Kind regards

Hello, I am new to upwork, I was invited here by a Company whom I am going to be working with. I have heard great things and put my account together yesterday. It seems I have all the features I need, however I have never seen anything saying if my account has been approved or not? I am just curious and wondering if it has been approved and I just didnt receive the email or what?
Nov 6, 2020 04:27:17 PM by Awais S
Hey Dakota,
I have been using the Upwork forum for almost 2months and I also faced this issue while approving my profile and have the question about how I get approved.
Let me make things easier for you.
1. Always input your original information
2. Try to fill everything, it increases your chances to get approved
3. After giving a complete review of your profile, submit it and wait for 24hours so the Upwork officials can review your profile.
4. If you get rejected please make sure again that you fill the requirement and correct information about yourself.
5. Submit your Profile again. (Mine also get approved on 2nd attempt)
6. You will receive the email of approval when your profile is approved.
7. Update your Portfolio ASAP and it must be ORIGINAL.
8. And you have given the 20 Connects for free as a beginner to bit on the jobs 🙂
GoodLuck! Hope you enjoy working here

Hello Awais, appreciate the response. I have done everything listed, I believe I submitted my profile when I signed up, I have yet to receive an email, its been around 30 hours since submitted. I guess I just need to wait, I imagine it could be a bit backed up at the moment due to Covid. Only other thing I can think of is it was approved however, the email did not come through.
Nov 6, 2020 04:44:08 PM by Awais S
Is there any bar showing on the top of your profile that you are in process of verification?
Nov 6, 2020 05:31:59 PM by Awais S
If you can't see the bar on the top of your profile then brother you are approved. Open your account and try to bid on the jobs now. Please see the attachment and let me know can you have the 20 connects there?

There is no indicating if my Upwork account is approved? It seems the only solution I find is posting at the community forums.
