Can't change country

[tildes]

I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

Hello, 

Can you help me change my country from USA to Morocco.

I was recently in USA on a visa and it doesn't work when bidding for a job offer.

Thanks!

Hello,

I still see that I'm located in Oklahoma City. I go to contact info but it seems the button doesn't work.

How about identity verification?

Hi Hamza,

I checked and you should be able to update your location and the city. Please remember that all the fields need to be filled out before updating. Could you please try clearing your cache and cookies or using a different browser? If the problem persists, please send us the screenshot from your end so that we can take a look.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to change my address from India to the US. However, when trying to change my address it asks me to update my w-9 tax information. But when I go to that link, I do not see an option to update my w-9 info. Please advice on what needs to be done.

[BojanS]

Hi Jaison,

It looks like you were able to update your country to the US. Feel free to reach back to us if you still need any assistance. 

Thank you!

Ravi, are you actually personally physically based in the USA? Not your agency, but you yourself?

I have tried to change my country three times from Taipei to Vienna via Settings. I was then told by support to create a ticket, which I did, but I haven't heard anything back. It's been about 3 weeks now. 

Can somebody please help?

Thank you. 

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Marcella,

Your country is now updated, thank you.

[403a0769]

You changed my location to Taipei, Australia. This is incorrect. 

I live in Vienna, Austria. Please change it again. 

Thanks

Hi Marcella,

Your country was updated as per your request, feel free to update the rest of the information under your account settings.

Hey,

It still says Taipei, Australia on my profile. I want to change it to Vienna, Austria. I have tried to update it in Settings, but it won't work. 

I don't know what else I can do?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Marcella,

To update your city please go to Settings > Contact Info > Location and update your address. Thank you.

It doesn't, it says Taipei, Austria. The timezone is also wrong.

You need to update the city yourself under settings.

Hello!
I'm currently trying to create my profile on Upwork, but can't choose the right country. For some reason, France is auto selected, and I'm currently in The Netherlands. 
Thank you in advance for your help.
