I have my OWP (also AIP) that expired November, applied for extension October.
Ya, I figured if it comes down to me and another person, why would they choose someone who could potentially be out of status (knock on wood). It sucks because I have nothing on paper that says I have implied status and am actually able to work legally here.
But if there's a chance, maybe i'll go for it and look for another job... Thanks guys.
