is client letter required?

[sujathaseattle]

I am on f1 visa. I want to change to h1b. Is client letter required to file cap exempt h1b?

It depends. Is the H1 employer a consulting company? Client letters are required for H1s from consulting companies.

If you work for a "normal" employer, a client letter isn't needed.

If you have client, then you need a client letter. However, there are very few chances of getting approved without it. But may be risky for stamping.

hmm your question is incomplete ..

you need to prove your employee employer relationship ..

my h1b employer is a consulting company. i have six years experience in IT. I can easily get a project. Do my employer have to apply h1b after getting a project?

For H1B you need a job.If you work at the client location(like most of the consulting firms do), then you need to show the proof of contract between your employer and the client, duration of the project, etc...
