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've successfully set up my new Upwork account and filled in all the necessary details. I'm wondering if I can start using my account to secure projects. Since I'm a newcomer to this platform, I'm currently facing some challenges.

Hi Muhammad,

If you are able to submit proposals, your profile has been approved.  You may not be verified yet, but that will come in the near future.  Make sure you visit the academy and complete the learning paths.

Good luck!

Hi Muhammad,

 

I checked and it looks like your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace. Please make sure you check the resources in this post to help you get started.

Hey!

 

I am Sonali Pal I have updated all the information in my account But my account is not approved yet.

There is no submit button showing on my PC and I can't even do visual verification.

Why is it taking so long to approve.

Hi Sonali,

 

Thank you for reaching out. I checked and can confirm that your account has already been accepted and you may start submitting proposals now. 

 

If you are referring to the ID Verification process, it looks like it doesn't need further verification yet. Please remember that you cannot initiate the identity verification yourself, and cannot be requested. If the team finds the need for you to do it, you will receive an email detailing the instructions for completing your verification.

Hello,

I completed my identity verification a few months ago. Could someone please check the status of my ID verification? I haven't received any emails after I uploaded my ID. Thanks

Hi Muhammad,

 

I checked your account and it looks like you're referring to the registration process. I can confirm that your account has already been accepted. An indicator of this is your ability to send proposals now. You may start submitting proposals to job posts that best suit your expertise and experience!

I uploaded the PDF from Linkedin - the page opened on upwork listing my experience - however 1 description box says that the information is only 1/5 complete - it ask to edit - but when I press the edit button or the delete button , neither of them work - so I cannot go forward with the profile creation as it just repeats the message that the information is only 1/5 complete.

Hi Marina,

 

I looked closer and confirmed that you've successfully created your profile. Welcome to Upwork! It's also been accepted, so you can now use it to send proposals to potential clients. Best of luck!

Hi.

It works already. You can start.

Great! But I don't have any connect in my balance, that's normal? How i get connects? It's my first time in Upwork

You can buy it for money (fast way) or wait for free connects assigned.

So, according to this text I will receive those connects 48 hours after the creation of my account?

I signed up for Upwork over 2 days ago, maybe 3 or 4, and have been waiting for an email letting me know of my profile status.

 

However, I notice that I didn't even get a confirmation email that my profile had been submitted. I have  received one or two other emails about password changes so it's not radio silence, but I get the impression something's not right. How can I check on my account status? I can't bid on jobs without buying connects. 

 

Thanks

I'm also going through the same issue. My account is relatively new and I'm yet to get any connects assigned to me.
