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,

 

I have been hired by a client as a part of the bring your freelancer option. Have updated my profile after accepting the job.

 

However, I am unable to submit my profile for some reason. The only buttons I can see are the "Review my application" "Create a client account instead"  and "Delete my account".

 

When I select the review option it is reloading and showing me the same mentioned options. (please refer attached)

 

Please assist.

 

Thank you.

Hi Upwork! I submitted my application as a Freelancer almost 2 days ago and I have not received any update on the status. I read that it takes only around 24 hours. May I request for status please?

I want to know if my profile is approved. I work exclusively for an agency. Never submitted my profile for approval. Can someone please confirm whether I am approved or not.

Hi Saira,

 

Are you wondering why you can't work as an independent freelancer? If yes, that is because you`re an exclusive member of your agency. Exclusive members can work only on contracts from the agency, if you would like to work as an independent freelancer the agency owner will need to change your status to Non-Exclusive member. You can find more information about it here.

 

Thank you.
