every year her visa expries and she looses her child tax benefit. so she goes 5 months abotu 1200$ short. then she usualy gets her new visa abck by xmass, and she gets a back payment so she ends up with a nice sum of money for xmass. this year they didnt give her a back payment. so she has also been tight for xmass. alltho her visa wont expire till 2012 now...
