I-140 approved, moved back to India

[rasija]

I have worked as a licensed pharmacist in the US for 7 years and I my I-140 has been already approved with the priority date of November 7, 2010. I had to come back to India in June 2016 and I am in India now. My H1B was expired on October 3, 2018.
- Do I have to have a valid H1B in order to attend the interview at US Consulate in India for Consular Processing?

Thanking you,

No. There is no such requirement.
