My i-140 is approved but H1B visa expired on June-16

Hi,

Currently I am out of USA. And working for same employer.

My employer applied for I-140 and get approved it in Feb-2017. But my petition was expired on 16-Jun-2016. So I left USA on 10-Jun-2016 and joined to same employer in India. I don't have H1B visa stamp on passport. Cause I was working with same employer with L1B.

What is process to re-enter in USA? I heard following options. But don't know which one is correct?

1. Ask employer to apply for H1B visa extension. How much tentative time takes to get extension?

2. Appear for visa interview.

Thanks in advance.

You can file for extension base on your valid 140 from India as well, consult your employer.
