This topic came up in another thread.

We know the fed crc goes into effect Jan 1. However, some are saying a fed crc will be required as of Sept. 1 for LoR xfers only.

Different people have called immi and apparently gotten different answers: some yes, some no. There may be no real way to answer this until the first of the month, but I want to leave this thread open for any further information that may be gathered on the subject.

Any transers the last couple of days able to confirm or deny this?

As to my knowledge, you will not need to submit a federal crc if you transfer your visa after sept. 1- the end of the year. The Fed CRC comes into effect on Jan. 1 2011. However, if you want to transfer your visa after sept 1 you must submit a nortorized copy of your degree. No norotrized copy then no transfer.

Anyone done a transfer since September 1st?

If you submitted a federal CRC when you first got the E2 (with the original employer) do you still need a new CRC to transfer? Obviously if someone is transferring, then they've been here more than 6 months and any copies of CRC they brought with them would be useless.

So... to transfer before a 12 month contract finishes but after completing 6 months, with a LOR from the original employer, do you need CRC (national or otherwise) to do the transfer?
