My friend, Olegs has a problem with creating Upwork account.
Your profile is under review
You should hear back within 12 hours. You will be able submit proposals once your profile is approved.
This banner is shown over 12 hours since he registered the account.
Somebody help him.
Solved! Go to Solution.

1) He needs to wait.
2) It has nothing to do with you
3) Not all profiles are approved
4. It is the weekend. Tell Oleg he will be informed whether his prifile is approved or not (many are not) in due course.

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, there's another problem.
Upwork said the marketplace doesn’t have opportunities for his area of expertise.
Could you explain that?

This means that Upwork is unable to offer him a freelancer profile. This is likely due to him having an area of expertise which is already available extensively on Upwork. In short, your friend's profile has been denied as the services he offers are not currently needed.

Then, which services are currently needed to Upwork?
Do you know that?

Hi Jordan,
In order to keep a fair balance between clients demanding certain skills/abilities and freelancers offering those skills/abilities, applications to join Upwork might be declined. However, anybody that's been declined may update their skills in their application to have it reviewed once more.
Please, go over the information here to learn more about this process.
