Keep hearing different things about this... I thought as of September 1st a diploma and/or a notarized/apostilized/whatever copy of it would suffice in lieu of transcripts.

I have two sealed envelopes of transcripts, but they're a couple years old. But I just read someone saying immigration is pretty chill about that, as long as they're unsealed.

Can anyone tell me for sure???

I had to send two sealed and stamped transcripts with my visa packet, and I had to bring one sealed and stamped transcript with me to my visa interview. Some places require two. Your best bet is to order four. I think the transcript thing is pretty standard.

Oh...nevermind...I need to read new regulations....you said, "as of September 1st." It never hurts to have some handy though.

Well September 1st is what I hear... you never really know with these things, though.

Yeah, I'd get the transcripts just as insurance. After all, it takes awhile for regulations here to transition.

Each school and recruiter are asking for something different - so I would say have transcripts just in case - and everything else.

It isn't just about the visa from the consulate - it is what the recruiter and/or school ask for as well.

Each one is asking for something different.

Also of note: SMOE is saying that they will still require them, even though immigration does not.

Just as they require you to do a health check every year, even though immigration does not. Apparently the strain of working at public school makes you more likely to fail a drug test or something like that...joke is on us.
