How can I know that my profile is approved?

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

Hello,
How much times usually to have a profile approved? I'm not even sure the review process have really started.
It say this : "If your profile is approved, it will become the public profile you’ll use to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after approval)."
Thanks

Hi!

Can I know if my profile is approved or not?  Everytime I click on "Review Application" it reloads the page and every field keep filled except "City". Is this supposed to be like that?

Avery's avatar

Hi Daniel, 

It doesn't look like you have submitted your profile for review. Upon checking, you will need to update your city in the "City" field of the "Add your availability and location" section. Once updated, please resubmit your profile. Should there be issues/errors that you need to fix, you will see it highligted in red. Once all errors have been fixed, you can see resubmit it for review.
