Let (M, ν, θ) be a real analytic (2n+1)-dimensional pseudo-hermitian manifold with nondegenerate Levi form and F be a pseudo-hermitian embedding into ℂn+1. We show under certain generic conditions that F satisfies a complete system of finite order. We use a method of prolongation of the tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations and pseudo-hermitian embedding equation. Thus if FCk(M) for sufficiently large k, F is real analytic. As a corollary, if M is a real hypersurface in ℂn+1, then F extends holomorphically to a neighborhood of M provided that F is sufficiently smooth.
