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 have the same problem-my profile is not completed yet cos I accidentally set my location to the United States and now I cannot continue but I can't change it to Germany myself either. Please help. 

Hi Nadja,

 

Please note that all the information in your profile including your location needs to be accurate, truthful and verifiable. We have updated your Country to Germany. Feel free to update the rest of the information to your profile.

Hi I am hoping someone can help me with my profile. I have just joined but my profile address is incorrect. All details are fine except that it won't allow me to confirm that it is Ontario, Canada instead defaulting to Cork, Ireland.

 

The option to update is greyed out so hoping someone can fix this for me.

 

Thanks for the help!

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. 

Hi Rebecca,

 

Your Country was updated. Please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if you`re able to update the rest of your profile information.

 

Thank you!
