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,

Hi there,

 

Yesterday, I got a notification for verification. I submitted my ID and also did the selfie photo verification yesterday.

 

Even though I have been here since 2019, I got a message this morning that says ''Congratulations! You're now part of Upwork!'' but the verification section on my account still says ''We're reviewing your ID'' and ''We're reviewing your selfie''.

 

Does this morning's message mean everything is approved?

 

UPDATE: I got another message letting me know I have earned the badge. My previous message can be disregarded. Thank you 

 

Thank you

Hi Yasmine,

 

Upwork takes 24 hours to review and accept your profile. They notify you via email.

 

You said you have updated it. If your profile has already been accepted once and you have only updated it then there is no need for re-acceptance.

 

I can view your profile. Here is the link to your profile.

Hi Mukul,

 

As far as I know, once submitted, it typically takes 24 hours to review your application and Upwork will notify you via email if your application is approved or declined.
