Cheryl Cole to Move to LA?

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Cheryl Cole is allegedly planning to move abroad to start a new life in Los Angeles, America.

Once she has sold her £6million Surrey marital home she once shared with love rat hubby Ashley Cole, it has emerged she wants to pack up and head out to the Californian State.

The news follows recent hearsay that the Girls Aloud singer has landed a £3million deal to be a judge on the US version of The X Factor.

And there is speculation that the move is to be closer to her rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough; who she first met when he appeared in her ‘Parachute’ music video earlier this year.

Derek’s stepdad Aaron Nelson reportedly told The Sun newspaper that Cheryl, 27, plans to move there to be closer to the 25-year-old dancer.

He told The Sun: “Cheryl is looking at moving over here, which will be good for Derek. I’m not sure exactly what they have decided about living together. It’s his business.”

“When things got difficult for Cheryl, she came over to be with him. Derek’s pretty level-headed most of the time. He’s a good guy. He’s always been a good guy and he’s very supportive.”

The 54-year-old added: “She feels indebted to him – all to do with the fact that he is kind to her. He supports her, but that is Derek’s nature. He’s a cheerleader for her. He just wants to see her do well.”

“Derek knows what’s been going on. She came over to see him a few weeks ago. I can say that when you love someone you want to be around them and that’s why he likes her.”

VISA WORRY

However, the move to LA  could be jeopardised because of visa issues.

US law states that all convictions must be disclosed on visa applications and, in serious cases, an appeal may be necessary.

Back in 2003,  Cheryl (was) Tweedy was convicted of assault after she drunkenly punched a female nightclub attendant.

Travel Tips for Students going Oversea Placements

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
 
University Student life is THE best time of your life. Waking up and rolling out of bed, crawling across the campus to fall asleep in your lecture…the best period ever.
On many courses in the UK, you can in fact spend one year or one semester of the course abroad. This could be in another university learning similar modules but experiencing a different school atmosphere; or in a workplace, gaining valuable onsite knowledge and experience.
 
Spending a year at an overseas university though will provide an amazing opportunity and give you with invaluable experience.
 
You will improve your language skills, meet like-minded students and make new friends, experience differences between student life in the UK and overseas, demonstrate your ability to adapt to a new study environment to potential employers and show that you can work with people from different cultural backgrounds.
 
Exchange universites are partnered across the globe, in countries like Spain, Cananda, Belgium, France, Germany, Finland and America.
 
Whichever country you are moving to, packing can cause a problem, especially if you are living out there for a whole year. Most airlines restrict the amount of luggage you can take with you with a weight limit, but with all your books and clothes that are necessary items that you must take, it can cause a particular dilemma.
 
Here is a general guideline to what you should take;
 
- Clothes
- University books
- Passports (and a copy)
- Student Visa (if needed)
- Toiletries
- Money (pounds, euros, credit/debit card)
- Map/guidebook
- Camera
- Paperwork (for hostels and transportation)
 
Leave expensive clothing, jewellery or accessories at home. Don’t ruin your experience by having something lost or stolen, avoid any potential incidents that result in being upset, simply don’t take it.
Save space by rolling clothes and condensing your items. Put a couple of pairs of socks into your shoes and fold your t-shirts up to make them as flat as possible. 
 
Amy Bentley, a Journalism student who studied in Canada for a semester, said: “When I found out that I was going travelling abroad the college I was going to sent me an email with the names of the people I would be staying so I looked these people up on Facebook and we were able to talk before I actually flew over there. So this was a good idea to give me an idea of the sort of people I would be living with.”
She also gives these top tips:
  • Before you leave ensure you let your bank now that you will be abroad.
  • Take a pen drive with all your work on from your home university you never know when it may be useful whilst studying abroad.
  • Take your favourite chocolate bars and snacks with you nothing tastes better than some Cadburys chocolate when you are away from home.
  • Get Skype on your laptop, it is a great invention for talking to your friends and family back at home and its FREE
  • Take things that are personal to you with you, then you can them in your room to make it homely, i.e. photos

UK visa appeal for International Removals

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

It has been revealed today that appealing a rejected UK visa application will now incur a fee.

Appealing any applications for leave to remain, leave to enter or for changing a UK visa will now incur a charge between £60 and £250.

People who qualify for legal aid, people receiving asylum support and applicants who are in the asylum “detained fast track” process will be excluded from charges.

And there will be no charges for deportation, revocation of leave and deprivation of citizenship or right of abode appeals.

Other exceptional circumstances may also be eligible for exemption.

The charges will be payable regardless of the outcome of the UK immigration appeal and the measure is intended to reduce by 25 per cent the running costs of the UK immigration appeals system; whichcost the taxpayer £115 million last year.

 Jonathan Djanogly, under secretary of state at the Ministry of Justice, defended the new charge saying it is reasonable to ask non-UK citizens appealing against some categories of immigration and asylum.

The move has received stiff opposition from the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, which stated: “The cost of the immigration appeals system is in no small part a product of the poor quality of decision making by the UK Border Agency… applicants should not be penalised for this particularly given that their appeals will often concern matters of life and death and other fundamental rights.”

There is currently no fee for lodging a UK immigration appeal.
