H1B Extension - Client Letter Required?

[mkb512]

Hi

My H1B extension is due in mid Jan 2013. My current project based on SOW ends early December.

My employer is asking me to provide Manager letter (internal) letter which should clearly mention project end dates.

Client will not issue any letter.

Questions

1) Is client letter mandatory for H1B extension?

2) If I am submitting just the above manager letter (internal) mentioned project end date as Dec 2012 and no client letter - is this case very like to get RFE?

3) Recommendation on how to proceed?

Thanks

1.It is not mandatory, but their are 99% chances of getting a RFE without letter

2.Yes.

3. Find FTE or long term project with minimum layers(I mean, one layer)
