Client letter not available (H1B stamping)
I have my first H1B stamping planned on 12 Feb 2020 at Chennai.
I have all mandatory documents handy that's required for verification except client letter. My client does not provides client letter for the current position but provided a valid SOW stating contract with the employer till 2021 which clearly mentions about the onsite position and validity.
My confusion here is even without a client letter and with a valid SOW will my case be approved?

Administrative Processing complete
Hi Friends,
Please let me know if you have any insight to my situation.
I had received my passports and 221(g) letters on 1st of Feb, 2020. I submitted required document and passports on 5th of Feb, 2020.
On the next day i.e. 6th Feb, 2020, I received an email stating the administrative processing is complete for my application and to submit a copy of the email along with the passports for final processing.
Now, I have already submitted the passports before I received the email. Please let me know how to submit the copy of the email that they asked for or Do I need to still submit the copy of email that was asked for ?
I do not get any response from the travel desk, they are saying consulate would respond back if they need any other document as this is the standard reply.
Please help !!

Help me friends
Hello Friends,
Can you please provide me your insights on my situation.
My H1b visa interview (first time visa stamping f1 to H1b) at Hyderabad consulate on Feb 24th 2020.
I am working on EVC mode and my petition was recently approved on Jan 30 2020 for 2 years. The issue is with my new client letter which has generic title (is-analyst) which is different from my LCA and end date as May 9th 2020 with possibility of extension. Different Title in end client letter will be an issue for my stamping ?
Client has provided me the client letter for my amendment which is 4 months old ( it’s good with my tittle and end date ( it stated 2 years long duration) but now due to some changes in organization polices my client is not able to provide the same letter now.
Carrying 4 months old client letter is risk for H1b stamping ? Or carrying the new client letter with generic title will be a good option ?
Guys please provide me your insights, your thoughts are much valuable for me.
Please help me !!!!!!!
Thanks in advance!
