Hi Vibhu,

You will need to fill out your W9 form and after this, your payment methods should be active. Thank you.

Do you hold a visa that allows you to work in the US?

[vibhusharma1997]

Yes

Hi Vibhu,

All freelancers that are located in the US will need to fill out the W9 form. Thank you.

Hi Vibhu,

If the person has a legal permit or a type of visa needed to work in the U.S. legally, they can register and work on Upwork as a freelancer. Users located in the U.S. will need to complete their W-9 form in their Settings to access their earnings. We do suggest talking to a legal adviser about completing the W-9 form and the information/documents necessary for it. Unfortunately, we won't be able to advise about it legally.

Thank you!
