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?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Paolo,
Your Country should reflect the one you're physically located in and can verify it. Would you like us to update your country to the Philippines?
Thank you!

My country's choice is still greyed out. Could you change mine to China?

It is not a bug. It is a reasonably effective first step to catch people who try to lie about who and where they are.
They then come to the forum and announce their fake profiles and can therefor easily be kicked off the platform.

I would suggest you correct all the other false parts of your profile first... Like your name and profile picture.
