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 trying to create a profile on upwork as a freelance but my location is locked and will not change from Uganda to anything else. This stops me from putting in the correct street address as well. Anyone have a similar issue to this?

Hi Khyam,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Could you please let us know which country would you like to reflect on your account as your location? We’d be happy to update it for you.

 

Thank you.

I'm living in Egypt now. And I can't change the country to Egypt. In addition, I want to complete my profile that needs a phone number(my phone number is an Egyptian one)

I am an American living in Vietnam.  The country is stuck on the United States, and it won't let me change it.  So I can't put a valid telephone number in in order to get verified.

You need to change your photo as well.

I will do that, but my country is still stuck on the United States

Hello, I occasionally filled incorrect personal data with registration. So I want to delete my account to register again using actual information. There is a problem about deleting: I can't enter the account settings because the platform always redirect me to the "https://www.upwork.com/ab/create-profile/v1/baseline/"
What should I do?
Thanks

I've occasionally entered incorrect location data and can't change it, so I can't link the right phone number.
