How can I know that my profile is approved?

[Miruna A]

Hello, I am trying to submit my application but there is no option to do so. Furthermore, there is no option to add my portfolio. I have tried logging in from Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox.

All of these days I have been waiting, thinking that my application was submitted but I have stumbled on this thread right now and I am very confused about what is happening. Please, help.

Hi Miruna,

I just checked your profile and it was accepted, feel free to start bidding on projects. Please, check out these threads Getting Started on Upwork and Hiring Headquarters and find there some excellent articles and learn more about Upwork.

Thank you.

Hello,

I just created a freelancer account. I have read above thread. There is no option to add portfolio in my profile. I have years of experience and want to showcase my work. Can you please guide me how and where can I add the portfolios?

Hi Surender,

Once you have submitted your application for a review you will be taken to a new window and will be able to add portfolio items.

To add a project to your portfolio:

1. Go to Find Work › Profile
2. Scroll down to the Portfolio section and click the Add (+) button
3. Enter the details of the project and select Publish Project

You can also check out our Online Course for New Freelancers and download our free eBook with tips from the pros on how to make your profile stand out. Thank you.

Hi Nader,

Just to confirm that your application haven't been submitted for a review. You will need to add your city and if you`re ready please go to the bottom of the page and click on Review Application.
If you`re directed back to the same page please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with another browser. Thank you.

My profile has not approved nor declined since my submission on the 23rd September 2019. It’s been almost one month.

Hi Hiroko,

I checked this for you and it looks like you didn't complete all the information required under the application form. Please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if you`re able to complete your application form and submit it for the review by clicking the Review Application at the bottom of the page.

Let us know if you need any assistance going forward, we're here to help.

Thank you!

Thank you very much. I have cleared cache and have input a little more
information and pressed "Review Application".
As I am not sure which required info is missing as I cannot find mandatory
info mark or anything, if I am still missing info, could you please specify
which one I need to fill out? (I filled out almost everything).
Could you please confirm if my status is "being reviewed"?

Thank you. Regards.

Hi Hiroko,

You will need to add your city in the City field as well and submit your application for review. If you`re still experiencing any problems after this let me know. Thank you.
