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?

Hello, I'm Gina & new to Upwork...

I'm trying to finish my profile but got to the last section & got stuck.

I'm from the U.S. but currently in the Philippines. I need to change the country in order to verify my phone number but currently, that is not an option.

Can someone help with this?


Thanks!

Hello 

I have the same issue as the original poster of this thread. I was studying in Thailand when I first signed up for this website but never completed my profile nor used this website. Now I am back home in Bangladesh and would like my profile to reflect as such. Please help with this issue. Thank you.
