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,
I am about to finish the registration form but I have mistakenly selected the UK as residence country and it looks like I can't change it because I am not allowed to select another country.

Hi Antonio,

 

Could you please confirm your current location/country so that our team can update it? Thank you.

Before finishing my profile, I find that the country of my account is the default "US." Unfortunately, I currently live in China. But, I find it very sad that I can't finish the last step because I don't have a phone number in the US. You have set it as the MUST step before I'm allowed to change my country code like other members. 

This is a complaint letter, as many people flow between different countries nowadays, and fixing one's account on a certain country is unreasonable for most of us, the global citizens. I hope you can seriously take my suggestions into consideration.

Finally, I hope to receive your reply via the email address: **Edited for Community Guidelines**

Hi Admin,
as I'm new to this platform, I'm unable to change my country from USA to India while registering and creating a profile, I need to verify my contact number but I 'm unable to change my country before the mobile number.
Please help me out in this.

Hi Varsha,

 

I checked and it seems that your country was already set to India. Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

My country was updated to Spain. I live in Spain. I'm loging in from Spain! Why is it that I can't choose any Spain city from the Locations dropdown menu? I'm just able to choose from USA cities. It's been a few days and still I can't choose my address.

 

Thanks!
