hello
My france student visa expires in November, yet I don't have my Carte de Sejour or even Recipisse (sorry don't know spelling).
To my knowledge, first time carte de sejour applicant cannot leave France after the visa expires until they receive their card.
Yet I read something that, this is an exception if you have a passport that doens't require tourist visa. (which I do have)
Does anybody know whether I can leave France?
