client letter

[nandac]

do we need client letter at the time of filing for h1b or do we need client letter only at the time of going to the consulate for stamping/at the immigration in usa?

 

appreciate the insights.

I am asking this question because I see many posts on the internet of people who seem to have got their h1b approved without a client letter. not the stamp on the passport but the approval by the INS.

At both times you need them.

Client letter is required during the time of H1 processing.

Sometime it happens but not every time.

Client letter is mandatory for H1 visa. You have worked for more than 6yrs on H1, you should be knowing this.

Your I-140 approval has no effect on visa interview/H1B petition filing. So, better to carry a client letter or at least print out of an email from client that they do not issue client letter.

Hello All, 

I am getting ready to apply for my H1B extension (2nd Extension) and the current client does not give client letters to EVC model contractors. Vendor is ready to give letter and Client Manager is ready to provide email saying client does not provide letters to contractors and have to get all documentation from vendor.

 

I am Going for Premium Processing. 
My question is 
1.What are the chances of getting approval with out client letter but with client email. 
2.Based on approved I-140 what are the chances of getting 3 yrs extension 
3.Is there a chance that the approval can be for 1 yr. 

First H1B from Oct 2009 to Sep 2012-36 Months Yrs - Included Client Letter
Second H1B From Oct 2012 to Jan 2015-28 Months - Included Client Letter
I140 approved in September 2012
