Not everyone is asked to show tickets at immigration. If they are asked to show, the letter issued by the airline should work fine. But there is this issue of advance information as well, that the airlines are required to provide to US immigration about
passengers traveling to US for terrorists name check. Someone in the airline will have to make sure they send the correct names and not the ones with errors that may get stuck in the US govt. check.

I'd suggest if you can find a booking with the same or another airline on another day, go ahead and cancel the first one
it will cost a few thousand rupees but you will avoid any potential problems which may or may not occur.
