Hi Dee Ann Jo,

 

Thank you for your message and welcome to Upwork! I'm happy to report that your profile has been approved. You can check this on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved! 

 

Here are some resources I compiled to help you get started on Upwork; I suggest you review each of them carefully:

I just checked your profile, and at this point, your profile is not approved (there should be a little blue badge next to your name, on the right-hand side, which indicates an approved profile).

 

Well, you just wait until Upwork sends you a profile verification email (this does not happen with every profile though, it's at Upwork's discretion to decide). Then you follow the Upwork's prompts from there.

Hi Celine,

 

I checked and it looks like your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals for jobs on the general marketplace. Our team will reach out to you when you need to verify your Upwork account. Please make sure you check the resources in this post to help you get started.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

What is the status of my account?
My account is approved or not?
When I try to submit a proposal it's redirecting to agency plus plan but I have 50 connect in balance.

Hi Michelle,

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.
