Traveling Europe from US on valid Schengen visa and expired US visa
I will be traveling from Seattle, US to Amsterdam with a layover at Reykjavik with Iceland Air. After a few days in Europe I will be travelling onward to India. I have a valid Indian passport and valid Schengen visa. But the US Visa stamped on my passport has expired. Will there be any problem for this travel?
Just to clarify, I haven't overstayed in US. It's just that the US visa stamped on my passport has expired. I got my visa renewed in the US and have valid docs for it. Just that the renewed visa hasn't been stamped on my passport yet. I will get it stamped once I visit my home country after visiting Europe.

You shouldn't have any problems unless you try to return to the US with that expired visa.
In which case you're likely to be denied boarding at the very least on your flight to the US.
