Where he is from vs Where is he from

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Where is he from?" is a complete sentence asking about someone's home or place of origin. "Where he is from" can be used as part of a sentence where the subject is already established and additional information is being provided about this person's origin.
