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

Hi all,

This thread has been closed from further replies due to its size. Please know that you can check if your profile has been approved on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved! 

 

We appreciate your participation in the Community and welcome you to continue the conversation here.

Thank you!

Hi Floor,

 

You will also need to add your city before you`re able to submit your application for a review. Once you`re ready and have added your city feel free to click the green button Review Application if you`re ready.
If you`re directed back to the same page please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with another browser. Thank you.

Hi, could you please inform me about the status of my account? After submitting my application I was brought back to the searching page with the following notification "Congrats, you're now part of Upwork! Tips to get started" and I'm not sure if that's suppose to mean I was accepted or not. Thanks!

Hello. Could you please inform me about the status of my account? I received an email with the subject, “Your profile's live! Now make sure it gets seen,” but I am not sure if this means that my account has been approved. Thank you.

Hi!

Sorry to bother you. I haven’t received any email on if my account has been approved or denied. Could you tell me what I need to do to ensure my account is approved and ready to go?

Thanks and have a great day!

Hello,
I have been creating my profile last week, with all information required.
I have then clicked on "Review Application"... but since then, when I log in, it only comes back to the profile and indicates "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)."
Could you possibly let me know what should I do to get my profile confirmed and move forward to get some freelance work please?
Thank you,
Geraldine

Hi Geraldine,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. I checked your account and I can see that you are yet to submit your profile for review. You need to click the review application button to make sure you did not miss any section of the profile creation process. Any portion that is highlighted in red needs to be filled-in. Please review your application and update the missing fields to be able to submit your profile for review. In this case, please update the city field and resubmit your profile for review. 

Once you submit your profile, it takes at least 24 to 48-hours for the process to complete and you will be notified via email about your account.

 

Thank you.

Hello, 

 

Can I know if my profile is activated? I have submitted it and it looks all fine - I can send proposals, I have connections, but I never got confirmation e-mail, so I just want to be sure.

 

Thank you!

I can't see if my application has been approved either, my application is just stuck on the 'review application' page and I can't seem to submit it?

 

Thanks
