There are no ICANN or registry (or legal that I know of) requirements
that a customer must pay for a renewal fee prior to completing a
transfer - regardless of the status of an invoice. If the initial or
current registration period fees are fully paid, then the customer is
entitled to all the rights accorded to a registrant - domain name
portability being one of these.
