Hi,
I had a similar case..
My PGWP got expired,, then I was waiting for my spouse's PGWP to apply for my extension.. He got it after 4 Months, I had no status till 4 Months, Then I applied for Visitor's Visa and Restoration of Status Together,, and Got both of them.. Later n, I applied for my Open WP and now have that too..
So, I suggest you should apply for your WP and Restoration of Status Together
Hope this hlps
