B2 visa sponsor document - valid visa stamp vs Approval Notice

Hi

I would appreciate your response with the following question.

My first H1 expired last year (Jan 2003) and I got my H1 extension approval (I-797) notice in Apr 2003.
I haven't gotten stamping in my passport, but just had the approval notice. I am still employed with
the same employer and getting regular pay checks.

I would like to sponsor my in-laws for B2 tourist visa. Do I have to have a valid H1 and I-94 for
sponsoring a B2 visa or Is the approval notice sufficient proof of legal status in USA ?

Thanks in advance.
