Visa question please [closed]
I have a J1 Visa and it expires on 30th June, 2015, and I will renew it on my trip to India.
I am traveling from US through Frankfurt to India.
Will there be any problem in that?

30th June 2015 is in the past! Do you mean 2016? Or has it already expired almost a year ago?

Welcome to TSE. I am afraid that as it stands your question does not has enough details to get a useful answer. Can you please add your nationality. But likely the answer you need is already on the site.

@GayotFow having a J-1 visa expiring 11 months ago is no evidence of being in breach.

I think this question is pretty clear. The OP has a J-1 US visa. It is not uncommon for US visas to expire while the holder is still in legal status. The OP is going to India, where they will apply for a new US visa. In the meantime, they want to transit Frankfurt on the basis of their year-expired J-1 visa. As @phoog points out, there's a decent likelihood this will not work and a transit visa should obtained.

For me the question is not clear. Either expires should become expired or 2015 should become 2016. Both are one character changes between adjacent keys on the keyboard. Additional points: nationality (probably Indian, but not stated)? About which "any problem" is the question? The transit in Frankfurt or the visa renewal?

You say your J-1 expired in June 2015. I assume you are an Indian citizen.
Indian citizens require an airport transit visa to transit in Germany, although there is an exemption if you hold a valid visa for any of several countries, including the United States. The exemption also applies if you are returning from one of those countries, having used a valid visa to travel there.
It's not entirely clear whether this exemption should include travelers who are returning from a trip using a valid visa, where the return journey falls after the expiration of the visa. Advice on the German consular site suggests that you should apply for an airport transit visa:
If your resident status has expired, please note:
The longer the time gap between the expiration date of the visa and the return from the USA, the higher the likeliness of facing complications when transiting through Germany.
The final decision whether an airplane can be boarded or a transit zone can be entered without a transit visa lies with the airlines or German Border Police, respectively. Therefore, the embassy advises clients whose US visa has expired to apply for a transit visa.
(I've changed some of the punctuation and capitalization to conform with English rules; the original has some German-style punctuation.)
Since your visa has expired nearly a year ago, you should no doubt follow this advice.
