How can I know that my profile is approved?

[#1]

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 Farman,

I checked and I can confirm that your profile has already been approved. If you need further help, please let us know. Thank you!

How long does it take for a newly made profile to be approved ? I registered yesterday but still haven't received any approval or decline.

Keep in mind that upwork gets 10000 new applications a day and only approves 2% of them. 

Re your profile: I have a faint idea what you are offering but no clue how that would work remotely, but aside from that, you are not allowed to be paid on a commission basis on upwork. Plus, how would you ever verify your client's success? You don't have access to their bookkeeping or something. So you might have to adjust your business model if you want to work through this site.

Thank you for the reply. My service is closing deals with prospects over the phone and it's perfectly fine to work remotely as like I mentioned it's a service over the phone. I can verify my client's success by knowing how many prospects on a daily/weekly basis have purchased the client's product/service through me. I understand I can't work on a commission basis and I'll readjust my business model.

Hi, I've tried three browser's and no luck. It just keeps staying on the

Hi guys, there is no clear message what is wrong with my profile:
I have only this message:

We've hidden your profile because it does not meet the following Upwork guidelines. You will not be able to submit proposals until these issues are fixed. 

Can somebody help me?

Hi there,

I just resubmitted my profile after getting rejected. Now I am unable to know if it’s approved or not. My profile isn’t displaying any message that if it’s under review or rejected.

Can someone please check if my profile is approved or not...

Lots of Thanks in advance.

hi it's been more than 48 hours now, and my account still didn't approved. is that normal ?

[#21]

re: "hi it's been more than 48 hours now, and my account still didn't approved. is that normal ?"

Yes.

This is normal.

48 hours is NOT how long it takes for an account to be approved.

48 hours is a goal that somebody once set for how long they would like it to take, and then somebody else wrote that goal into a message that is displayed to prospective new freelancers.

It's the weekend. Quite likely nobody is working on this over the weekend.

It might take 2 business days, not 48 hours. It might take a week. Be patient.
