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?

I began building my profile by choosing Japan (with Japanese marketing in mind) but I live in the US. Can someone help me edit my address/country, please?

I cannot change the country from US to Philippines. Can't proceed completing my profile.

Hi Kathrina,

 

 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 the Philippines?

Hi, I'm creating my profile and I'm unable to change the country. It is set currently to UK but I live in Palestine. I tried using the settings but the website redirects me to the create profile page.

Thank you for the help.
