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 Amir Mohammad,

 

Your country should reflect the one you're physically located in and be able to verify it.

Would you like us to update your country to Georgia?

 

Thank you!

Seems your name is "accidentally" not your real, legal name as it appears in your passport?
