DO I need to have Airport transit visa if my US F1 visa is expired and I have H1b approval notice?

According to Timatic, the database used by airlines:

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):

Nationals of India transiting through Frankfurt (FRA) or Munich (MUC), arriving from a non-Schengen Member State with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight within 24 hours to a third country which is not a Schengen Member State. They must:

  • have a used, valid or expired visa issued by Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland (Rep.), Japan, Romania, USA or United Kingdom, and
  • be returning from the country that issued the visa, and
  • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and
  • have documents required for their next destination.

So if you hold an Indian passport and are travelling directly (as I read your question) from the United States to Frankfurt and then on to India with a four-hour connection, then it appears that you do not need a visa.
