Travel with H1B extension filed

[shetul_kansara]

Hello,
I have my H1B extension filed in Nov 2008 and has valid visa till Feb 2009.
I travelled to India due to family emergency. please advice shall I travel back
to US in on Jan 19 with my old valid visa or I have to wait for my H1B extension approval.
My employer is asking me to wait till extension is approved and not travel with valid visa.
Please help.

Thanks
