Can't change country

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, My country code is not the same as my country as I travel a lot. So I can't verify my profile. Please unlock this & fix this bug so you can add your own country code. 

I am able to verify with a dutch phone number.

I started my profile while I was still living in the US, but have since moved back to Canada and have not been able to change my country.  If someone could help update the country to Canada, it'd be much appreciated.

HELP! I started to create a profile when I was in the UK but live in the US and now I can't finish the verification because I can't change the address to a US address and therefore can't put in a US number.

Like most folks on this platform it seems, I cannot change my country during my account creation and thus am stuck with "United Kingdom".

 

Could you please set my account to "Netherlands" so I can go to the next step and enter a dutch number.

Hi Nathan,

Your country is now updated, thank you.
