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?

Hi,
Everytime I log in, I need to verify my account. I am stuck on setting up my profile page. But the country information is wrong and I can't change it. I also can't enter a phone number of a country where I don't have a phone number from.
How can I change my country to Germany?

Hello,
I need to change the location associated with my account. It's currently set to United Kingdom but it should be Spain. However, each time I try to edit my account it redirects me to the "Your Profile" form. I can't progress past this because I need to verify my telephone number, which is a Spanish number and should be prefixed with +34, but the input box has a +44 prefix locked in.
Please help.
Kind regards
Phil

I clicked United States when signing up because I wanted most of my work to come from there but I'm based in Canada. I didn't know that it would lock me in if it was the wrong choice.
Please help me set it to the correct location.
Thanks
