by the time you applied your pnp was valid?
if yes, then no worries if expired, then problem...secondly, i m sure if you have not applied 4 months before the wp expiration then consider it a close wp
good luck,
i m applying restoration now...getting extension from pnp for pnp letter, i have restoration status now, dont know ppl say diff things, i was thinking to go border,,and ppl say no status dont go..
