Hello:

 A friend of mine who came here in a F1 visa 8 years ago has a expired visa. Surprisinly, his status has not been updated in SEVIS. He could not finish school because of financial constraint. But he is going to Nepal for good. He is travelling by American Airlines via Paris in December. Does he need to have a transit visa for Paris (12 hours lay over)? Will he be allowed to leave US airport (Dallas) without valid US visa? please advise us. I heard that for LONDON travellers need valid US visa, I don't know for Paris.

Please tell us where could we find credible information about visa requirement?
